5.0 out of 5 starsit even covered topics such as soteriology in quite a good depth. By far the best in this book ...
By Ilkka Koivisto on February 19, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
As a non-English reader this was maybe not the easiest book... but every page of it was absolutely worth reading and sometimes struggling through.

The book was actually much more than just about hospitality, it even covered topics such as soteriology in quite a good depth. By far the best in this book were the têtê à têtê sections, giving light to stories of Jacob, Abraham, Abel etc.

Really, a lot of treasures and fresh insights hidden in this book. Not for a busy reader, though! And yes, you need to be at least a little interested in Derrida, deconstruction and Levinas to get the most of this book.

3.0 out of 5 starsMore scholarly than I had anticipated
By T. Murrell on June 13, 2014
Format: Paperback
We live in a time where helping others is not popular. Unknown people are a potential threat. No one picks up hitchhikers or gives money to a homeless person. We are cautious and careful about who invite into our homes and lives. Yet the Bible talks to us about entertaining strangers and helping others.

The author has taken a subject that should touch the heart of every Christian and has written an entire theological book. I was unaware when I requested this book that it was part of the Princeton Theological Monograph Series. And as such, was mostly over my head. I enjoyed reading the parts that I understood. But most of the book was a bit much for me. This book is more for the pastor, professor, or scholar than for the average Christian hoping to learn more about hospitality and overcoming the fear of it. I did gain some insights, but the time it took me to plow through the extremely philosophical parts to get to those insights was somewhat tedious.

I received this book free of charge from WIPF in exchange for my honest review.
