Water Is Thicker than Blood
Author: Jana Marguerite Bennett
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198043066
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
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.

Thicker Than Water
Author: Melissa Meyer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135342008
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
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.

Tukufu Zuberi offers a concise account of the historical connections between the development of the idea of race and the birth of social statistics. Zuberi describes the ways race-differentiated data is misinterpreted in the social sciences and asks searching questions about the ways racial statistics are used. He argues that statistical analysis can and must be deracialized, and that this deracialization is essential to the goal of achieving social justice for all.

Pages : 222
Book Description
LONG STRETCHES IN THE SLAMMER CAN MAKE THE AMATEUR HUSTLER TAPOUT AND CALL IT QUITS. Not Fool, tho. He's a decorated vet from the original war on drugs. After his recent release, he touches back down in his old 'hood with a new plug and a game plan to lay a new pipeline, and he doesn't waste any time making his presence felt among the local heavies. At the moment, it just so happens that the heaviest local of them all is Fool's twin brother, RunThang. He's another combat veteran from way back when crack first hit the streets like a terrorist attack, and heroin was causing more casualties than a suicide bomber. Back in those days, the twins were the main perpetrators pumping up those statistics. It's never been a secret around the 'hood that Fool was the twin born with the brains, but RunThang popped out of the pussy holding most of the muscle. Eventually, jealousy and old grudges split that family bond, and to nobody's surprise, RunThang doesn't welcome his twin brother home with open arms. Just as gang jump-ins only work on pipsqueaks and peons, OG status only works in the movies. In the real gangland of the streets, loyalties line up behind the man who can bake the most bread and feed the block. But out-of-sight means out-of-mind, and while Fool has been M.I.A. for six long years, RunThang has a crew of young soldiers he's been keeping well fed. When it comes to the crumbs on their table, competition is never welcomed, always frowned upon, and they won't hesitate to greet the twin with hollow points and buckshots.
