by Gress Carrie (Author), Noelle Mering (Author)
In this third installment of the Theology of Home series, Carrie Gress and Noelle Mering turn their attention to the role of the sea in our memories and imaginations. Drawing from literature, mythology, and scripture, At the Sea pulls out the rich connections between the sea and mystery, recreation, yearning, and joyful reunions.
With themes of home and womanhood woven throughout, it is a voyage that explores:
- why we often associate maritime language with the feminine;
- the rich symbolism of the Church as an ark;
- the sea's mysterious balance between power and peace;
- Christ's many encounters with water in the Gospels;
- the sea's ability to draw our souls out to God;
- why we try to bring pieces of the coast and oceans into our homes;
- Our Lady's role as Stella Maris
- . . . and more . . .
This edition of Theology of Home includes the characteristically beautiful photography readers have come to know and appreciate from the series that captures home life, nature, family, and of course, the sea.
