Summary: For most of church history, hospitality was central to Christian identity. Yet our generation knows little about this rich, life-giving practice.

Combining biblical and historical research with extensive interviewing of people in contemporary communities of hospitality--the Catholic Worker, L'Abri, L'Arche, Good Works, Jubilee Partners, St. John's Abbey, and others--Pohl explores the necessity, difficulty, and blessing of practicing hospitality today
