Abstract

The study of hospitality and daily reading of the Bible sparked an interest in uniting these two pieces of knowledge in a research that contributes to the application, observation or elaboration of questions about current hospitality relationships. In Brazil, the Bible is among the most read books according to the Retratos da Leitura survey carried out in 2019. The research problem is: which categories can be defined to study hospitality in biblical narratives? The established research objective was to define categories for the study of hospitality based on biblical narratives. The practice of hospitality is encouraged both for the relationship with God and between people with the aim of appeasing conflicts, encouraging the entry of new individuals without disrespecting those who welcome. The objective was achieved and resulted in categories of attitudes that express this hospitality or even its opposite (hostility), as well as hostility, written and unwritten norms (ancestral laws) and migration. One of the opportunities for new research corresponds to developing a method to analyze hospitality in Brazil, in the Christian or non-Christian context, through these categories.
