Dryness, Danger and Death

Wetness is life and dryness is death. This is an important theme in the Old Testament. This book discusses the Biblical concept of fluids in relation to life. It provides answers to:• Why did the Jews practice secondary burial?• Why was bleeding of women dangerous in Israelite thought?• Why do Jews prohibit the eating of blood?These and other critical questions find, in this book, credible responses that help us understand why people of various cultures think the way they think and do what they do.
