God Is Stranger: The Surprising Power of Hospitality

Krish Kandiah

Write Review

Rated 0

Prose: non-fiction, Christianity, Christian theology, Theology

A new edition with introduction and foreword that tackle today's hot topics of immigration and welcome. Krish's exploration of the Bible's teaching on the subject are more relevant than ever.

With huge marches in central London, demonstrations outside asylum hotels and opinion polls showing that immigration is one of the most important electoral issues for the majority of the population, churches and individual Christians are grappling with how to respond.

The call to recognise God in the stranger has never been more relevant.

God Is Stranger strips us of our comfortable assumptions about God and invites us to look afresh at his character. When Abraham welcomes three men for dinner, he ends up pleading for the life of a city. When Jacob meets God by the river, they end up in a fight. And when two forlorn disciples meet a stranger on the road, their lives are turned upside down. God Is Stranger challenges us to lay down our expectations of God and delight in the power that is proven by his very strangeness.

'Be warned: this book could seriously affect your view of yourself, of the world and of God - I highly recommend it to you!' PAULA GOODER, ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL

'An important and timely book from someone who lives out its message.' PETE GREIG, 24-7 PRAYER INTERNATIONAL
