Download or read book Water Is Thicker than Blood written by Jana Marguerite Bennett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers how homes, households, and domestic life are related to the Church. Early theologies glorified the monastic lifestyle as a way to transcend earthly attachments in favor of supernatural goods. Contemporary thinkers have seen that functioning marriages and families themselves can lead us toward a more righteous society. Jana Bennett insists that both marriage and singleness must be placed in the context of the Christian story of redemption for the questions and problems at stake to be fully understood. She finds that Augustine of Hippo, maligned by modern theologians, is the source of very fruitful reflection on these topics. Most scholars today would agree that Augustine's works have exerted great influence on Western views of marriage, family, and sex. But many would argue that this influence has been detrimental to a healthy understanding of these topics. However, using Augustine's writing, Bennett shows that marriage and singleness cannot be considered separately, that gender issues are important to considering these states correctly and, most important, that the marriage between Christ and the Church is the first consideration in understanding and living these states of life. The water of baptism, Christians' first birth and initiation into the life of Christ, is the primary standard for relationships, rather than familial ties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood Is Thicker Than Water is a modern take on the age-old dilemma faced by many heroes and heroines throughout the ages-when faced with the life-and-death choice of family you're born to versus family you choose, what's your decision? Lisa is a happily married African American woman whose dysfunctional family creates constant upheaval, which culminates in their pressure on her to save the life of her drug-addicted brother instead of her loving husband who happens to be Caucasian. Lisa fled her childhood home and the extraordinary contempt that her mother Joyce has for her. Lisa's husband makes a convincing argument, that her choice should be clear. Her decision might also heal the mother-daughter relationship that Lisa has been longing for since childhood.

Book excerpt: Blood is more than a fluid solution of cells, platelets and plasma. It is a symbol for the most basic of human concerns--life, death and family find expression in rituals surrounding everything from menstruation to human sacrifice. Comprehensive in its scope and provocative in its argument, this book examines beliefs and rituals concerning blood in a range of regional and religious contexts throughout human history. Meyer reveals the origins of a wide range of blood rituals, from the earliest surviving human symbolism of fertility and the hunt, to the Jewish bris, and the clitoridectomies given to young girls in parts of Africa. The book also explores how cultural practices influence gene selection and makes a connection with the natural sciences by exploring how color perception influences the human proclivity to create blood symbols and rituals.
