by Christina S. Hitchcock (Author)
The church needs to do a better job of speaking theologically to single Christians. Challenging prevailing evangelical assumptions about "the problem" of singleness, this book explains why the church needs single people and offers a contemporary theology of singleness relevant to all members of the church. Drawing on the examples of three important figures from the history of Christianity, the book helps today's church form a vision of life in the kingdom of God that is as theologically significant for single people as it is for those who are married.
Back Jacket
"As refreshingly honest as it is theologically serious"
"A very thoughtful, richly theological, profoundly personal book. It is at the same time historically situated in the ancient, formative stories of church history and also attentive to the contemporary complexities of sexuality, marriage, and family. This is a book for those who feel stretched taut over the tensions of being both holy and human in the modern world."
--Steven Garber, Regent College; author of Visions of Vocation: Common Grace for the Common Good
--Ian A. McFarland, University of Cambridge "Hitchcock builds a theology of singleness that challenges Western ideas of true love as always and exclusively sexual, and she rightly confronts our notion that marriage is the only proper foundation from which to build and nurture the church. An encouraging, unique, and thoughtful contribution to the literature on singleness."
--Lisa Graham McMinn, author of Sexuality and Holy Longing: Embracing Intimacy in a Broken World "How did we get singleness and marriage so wrong? For the New Testament, both tell a truth about God: that the kingdom is here and that God is faithful. The loss of any honored place for singleness in Protestant churches suggests that we don't believe the kingdom is really here. This erudite and accessible book, with its engagement with Scripture and saints and real life, is a step in the right direction. May there be many more."
--Jason Byassee, Vancouver School of Theology "A timely and impassioned argument. Hitchcock's work goes against the grain of much popular thought, but it runs along the grain of the deeper wisdom of Scripture, reminding readers that singleness provides a sign of the kingdom of God every bit as much as marriage does, and that both are necessary for the church's witness to the gospel."
--Kimlyn J. Bender, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University "The church needs the biblical vision that Hitchcock provides. If the church fails to see the theological significance of singleness, it is ill-equipped to address issues such as homosexuality, sex outside of marriage, missions, and evangelism. Hitchcock offers a compelling picture of communal life in the kingdom."
--David Rylaarsdam, Calvin Theological Seminary
