Welcoming the Stranger: Abrahamic Hospitality and Its Contemporary Implications (2024), a collection of essays, explores hospitality and inclusion in Abrahamic traditions from historical, theoretical, theo­logical, and practical perspectives. It offers an enlightening and compelling discussion of what the Abrahamic traditions teach us regarding welcoming people we don’t know. This conversation with authors Ori Soltes and Rachel Stern was followed by refreshments and a book signing.

This book launch event was co-sponsored by the Center for Jewish Civilization; Mortara Center for International Studies; Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs; and Theology and Religious Studies Department.
