Making Room by Christine D. Pohl

Recovering Hospitality as a Christian Tradition

This book argues that hospitality is a central but neglected Christian practice and traces its biblical and historical roots while offering theological reflection and practical guidance for recovering it today; drawing on early church, monastic, and Protestant examples, the author critiques modern individualism and consumer culture for shrinking space for strangers and shows how congregations and households can intentionally welcome outsiders, share resources, and form sacrificial, inclusive relationships that respond to poverty, migration, and social isolation.
