christian books on setting boundaries

Why is it so bad for a woman to reject affection?

I was reading this weird book about how a Christian woman should act and so on.

Anyway the author gave this ‘true story’:

There was a couples group and the men were stroking their wives hair. Well one wife slapped her husband’s hand away.

The author goes on about how much of a bad person the wife is, humiliating the husband in front of the group.

So what is it wrong to set boundaries?

Do you agree with this bs?

I think a woman has every right to reject affection, but that woman was completely wrong to SLAP her husband’s hand away.

Not everyone likes to have their hair stroked (or have their hair stroked in public), but you ask them to stop or you move their hand away. You don’t hit someone unless you are given no other choice. The wife made a scene when she didn’t have to, it sounds cruel of her.

Medieval Boundaries $61.98 In Medieval Boundaries, Sharon Kinoshita examines the role of cross-cultural contact in twelfth- and early thirteenth-century French literature. Starting from the observation that many of the earliest and best-known works of the French literary tradition are set on or beyond the borders of the French-speaking world, she reads the Chanson de Roland, the Lais of Marie de France, and a variety of other texts in an expanded geographical frame that includes the Iberian peninsula, the Welsh marches, and the eastern Mediterranean. In Kinoshita’s reconceptualization of the geographical and cultural boundaries of the medieval West, such places become significant not only as sites of conflict but also as spaces of intense political, economic, and cultural negotiation.An important contribution to the emerging field of medieval postcolonialism, Kinoshita’s work explores the limitations of reading the literature of the French Middle Ages as an inevitable link in the historical construction of modern discourses of Orientalism, colonialism, race, and Christian-Muslim conflict. Rather, drawing on recent historical and art historical scholarship, Kinoshita uncovers a vernacular culture at odds with official discourses of crusade and conquest. Situating each work in its specific context, she brings to light the lived experiences of the knights and nobles for whom this literature was first composed and–in a series of close readings informed by postcolonial and feminist theory–demonstrates that literary representations of cultural encounters often provided the pretext for questioning the most basic categories of medieval identity.

Living on the Boundaries $14.98 "Both evangelicalism and feminism are controversial movements that provoke complex loyalties and ambivalence within the church and the world at large. In spite of a considerable degree of shared history, they are quite often defined against each other. Most of the rhetoric from and about the movements assumes that there are few connections and little overlap, and that individuals might locate themselves within one or the other, but not within both. Yet some evangelical women in the academy find themselves living on the boundary between feminism and evangelicalism, or on the boundaries between the multiple forms of both feminism and evangelicalism."–from the first chapterWhat happens when evangelicalism meets feminism?In their own biblical and theological training, Nicola Creegan and Christine Pohl have each lived at the intersection of these two movements They now both teach in Christian institutions of higher education where others follow along a similar pathway. They have a story to tell about their experience along with those of ninety other women they surveyed who have lived on the boundary between evangelicalism and feminism. They explore what it was like for evangelical women who pursued doctorates in biblical and theological studies. What were their experiences as they taught and wrote, were mentored and became mentors? What are the theological issues they faced, and how did they respond? How have they negotiated professional, family and church commitments? This well-informed, multidimensional and sensitive narrative of women’s experience will be illuminating for anyone involved in the academic theological world.
