Just Hospitality

God's Welcome in a World of Difference
  • By Letty M. Russell
$22.29
($29.00)
Product Description
In this, her last book, theologian Letty Russell redefines the commonly held notion of hospitality as she challenges her readers to consider what it means to welcome the stranger.  In doing so, she implores persons of faith to join the struggle for justice.

Rather than an act of limited, charitable welcome, Russell maintains that true hospitality is a process that requires partnership with the "other" in our divided world.  the goal is "just hospitality," that is, hospitality with justice.

Russell draws on feminist and postcolonial thinking to show how we are colonized and colonizing, each of us bearing the marks of the history that formed us.  With an insightful analysis of the power dynamics that stem from our differences, and a constructive theological theory of difference itself, Russell proposes concrete strategies to create a more just practice of hospitality.

With careful attention, she writes, we can build a network of hospitality that is truthful about our mistakes and inequities, yet determined to resist the contradictions that drive us apart.  This kind of genuine solidarity requires us to cast off oppression and domination in order to truly welcome the stranger.  Russell's lasting message is a highly practical theology of both academy and the church.  Contains questions for study and reflection.
