It can be enriching and joy-filled, but it can also be profoundly demanding and sometimes even dangerous. In \u003cem\u003eThe Limits of Hospitality\u003c\/em\u003e, Jessica Wrobleski explores the ethical questions surrounding the practice of hospitality, particularly hospitality that is informed by Christian theological commitments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile there is no algorithm that distinguishes between ethically \"legitimate: \" and \"llegitimate\" boundaries, the variety of circumstances in which hospitality is relevant and the nature of hospitality itself make advocating firm and fixed boundaries difficult. How much more so for Christians, for whom the practice of hospitality should be a manifestation of agape, a participation in God's eschatological welcome extended to all people through Jesus Christ!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAre limits to hospitality, then, merely a regrettable concession to our finite and fallen condition?
