📱 eBook en inglés THE MEANING OF SINGLENESS

Is Christian singleness a burden to be endured or a God-ordained vocation? Might singleness here and now give the church a glimpse of Gods heavenly promises?

Dani Treweek offers biblical, historical, cultural, and theological reflections to retrieve a theology of singleness for the church today. Drawing upon both ancient and contemporary theologians, including Augustine, Ælfric of Eynsham, John Paul II, and Stanley Hauerwas, she contends not only that singleness has served an important role throughout the churchs history, but that single Christians present the church with a foretaste of the eschatological reality that awaits all of Gods people.

Far from being a burden, then, Christian singleness is among the highest vocations of the faith.
