Ideas of kinship play a significant role in structuring everyday
life, and yet kinship has been neglected in Christian ethics, moral
philosophy and bioethics. Attention has been paid in these
disciplines to the ethics of 'family,' but with little regard to
the evidence that kinship varies widely from culture-to-culture,
suggesting that it is, in fact, culturally constructed. Surveying
notions of shared substance (e.g. blood ties), house, gender and
personhood, as theorised and practiced in the Christian tradition,
Torrance critiques the special privileging of the 'blood tie'. In
the place of European and American cultural assumptions to the
contrary, it is kinship in Christ that is presented as the basis of
a truly Christian account for social ties. Torrance also aims to
stimulate the moral imagination to consider Christian kinship might
be lived out in miniature, in everyday life.
