Part 1. Divine hospitality. Food, stigma, and the identity of the church in Luke-Acts -- Ecclesial hospitality amidst difference and division in Paul -- The meaning of human existence and the church's mission in the Gospel of John -- Part 2. Human hospitality. Hospitality and the world: overcoming tribalism -- Hospitality and the immigrant: overcoming xenophobia -- Hospitality and the economy: overcoming greed.

Subject: Too few Christians today, says Joshua Jipp, understand hospitality to strangers and the marginalized as an essential part of the church's identity. In this book Jipp argues that God's relationship to his people is fundamentally an act of hospitality to strangers, and that divine and human hospitality together are thus at the very heart of Christian faith. Jipp first provides a thorough interpretation of the major biblical texts related to the practice of hospitality to strangers, considering especially how these texts portray Christ as the divine host who extends God's welcome to all people. Jipp then invites readers to consider how God's hospitality sets the pattern for human hospitality, offering suggestions on how the practice of welcoming strangers can guide the church in its engagement with current social challenges --
