Zella Christenson Avila's Work
Formed by Gratitude: Inhabiting a Theology of Hospitality through the Festival of Sukkot
As we gather around tables this Thanksgiving, Zella Christenson Avila invites us to consider the ancient Jewish festival of Sukkot and its theology of hospitality. Drawing on the festival’s connections to both the abundance of Eden and the vulnerability of the wilderness, she explores how Sukkot teaches God’s people to receive God’s provision with gratitude and respond with generosity toward their neighbours.
