Book Synopsis Water Is Thicker than Blood by : Jana Marguerite Bennett
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.
Book Synopsis Thicker Than Water by : Melissa Meyer
Download or read book Thicker Than Water written by Melissa Meyer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The Sicilian written by Mario Puzo and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2004-09-28 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Mario Puzo wrote his internationally acclaimed The Godfather, he has often been imitated but never equaled. Puzo's classic novel, The Sicilian, stands as a cornerstone of his work—a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of bloodshed, justice, and treachery. . . . The year is 1950. Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his exile in Sicily. The Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a young Sicilian bandit named Salvatore Guiliano back with him to America. But Guiliano is a man entwined in a bloody web of violence and vendettas. In Sicily, Guiliano is a modern day Robin Hood who has defied corruption—and defied the Cosa Nostra. Now, in the land of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient ruins, Michael Corleone's fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of Salvatore Guiliano: warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano. Praise for The Sicilian “Puzo is a master storyteller.”—USA Today “The Balzac of the mafia.”—Time “An accomplished and imaginative writer.”—Los Angeles Times
Download or read book Bumpy Road written by Martino Kunjok Atem and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Sudanese civil war destroyed relations between my father and his father. The second civil war displaced, made me a refugee, and forced me to leave my country. Even though war robbed me of my childhood and forced the responsibilities of an adult upon me, I refused to let the past negative experiences determine my fate. In addition to the woes of the Sudans civil wars on my family, my story includes my spiritual, political, and economic journey. It is a journey from Atemyath to Jesus Christ, from the worlds newest country to a nation that is one hundred and fifty years old. The anguish consequences of Sudans wars and my religious conversion are nothing compared with the failed institutional systems in the Republic of South Sudan, which are, corruption, nepotism, tribal based polices and especially the civil war that crippled the new nation. With these, one is left with nothing but to challenge fail status quo under SPLM leadership whether in the government or opposition. The SPLMs Entitlement Syndrome within SPLM leadership, both in the government and in opposition has shattered hopes and dreams of South Sudanese since 2013.

Download or read book The Lost Kings written by Stephen Moser and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2024-08-07 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Lost Kings” covers the period 16th-24th April 2021. It is a work of fiction, based on a re-interpretation of historical facts relating to the Royal Blood of the descendants of Jesus, known over the centuries as the ‘sang real’/Holy Grail. So in a sense it is a work of current/historical fiction/non-fiction spanning two millenia. It opens with the immediate aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus, the direct descendant of King David and therefore the legitimate pretender to the throne of Israel as well as a Prophet of God. The book finishes with the installation of his direct descendant as Pope Jesus II, who after the passage of two millenia finally brings together the temporal and religious succession to both King David and Jesus. Our hero is David Whitecastle. He, like Ian Fleming and his creation James Bond, had a Scottish father and Swiss mother, attended Fettes College in Edinburgh, and was in a special unit of the armed forces. David is an Oxbridge graduate who joined Jardine Matheson, the Princely Hong immortalised both by its history as the most powerful foreign trading house in Asia, and more recently through the novels of the late James Clavel, whom I got to know and who initiated me into the dark art of story-telling. Through David, the reader meets the larger than life but enigmatic Monseigneur Sobieski, as well as the delightful Anna who turns out to be much more than just pleasing on the eye. The cast includes the 82 year old Madame Fatin who longs to share a secret which has eluded even the most ardent seekers of the hidden truths of Rennes-le-Chateau. Through her we meet the dyed-in-the-wool but confused SS colonel whose uncle Adolf Hitler has entrusted him with a family lineage quest of his own. She also reveals the secret identity and story of Marie who fathered twin sons whose offspring have the most legitimate claim to the throne of the Lost Kings. Then our journey takes us to the corridors of power in Paris and Vienna which have consistently sought out, adopted and used for their own ends the current representatives of the ancient bloodline of David. The book begins with an apparently open-and-shut homicide in the Vatican. But as the story unfolds it takes the reader on a truly secret and magical whirlwind tour of history, the world and Mankind itself, embracing the ancient Jewish Kingdom of Septimanie in southern France as well as the Visigoth, Merovingian, Carolingian and Habsburg dynasties. It is also a truly inside look at the machinations from its inception of the Church of Rome and its rival factions, through the eyes of some of the key people who have shaped European and world history, politics and religion. It transpires that there are two living descendants of the original undiluted bloodline, whose existence has not been revealed even to those who considered themselves its custodians and protectors over the centuries. The story culminates in a papal election where the two main contenders are, unbeknownst to themselves, the progeny of twin brothers and the current claimants to the most legitimate bloodline of the House of David. The book finishes on an upbeat note. It seems that the winds of change may finally be beginning to blow away the ancient cobwebs which over the centuries have blighted even the most high-minded of religious leaders and organisations, and so in turn failed to fulfil what the average person expects and needs from them. The book is intended to give readers a new, refreshing, but provocative interpretation of the evolution of our culture and civilisation, and in the process stimulate the little grey cells and encourage each one of us to critically and conscientiously re-appraise some of the supposedly self-evident truths which we have taken for granted. It is my hope that this will lead to greater awareness and understanding of ourselves and our place in things. I also hope that this cocktail of light-hearted banter, unexpected love, adventure, mystery, deceit, and epicurean delights will also allow the reader to have fun in the process.
