Danylak rescues the conversation about singleness from thesphere
of experiential teaching and brings it squarely into therealm of
biblical theology, where it emerges as a legitimatereflection of
the sufficiency of Christ's redeemingact.
Though marriage and procreation were fundamental to
thepropogation of God's people in Old Testament times, the
NewTestament affirms singleness as a calling for some
Christians.Redeeming Singleness expounds a theology of
singlenessthat shows how the blessings of the covenant are now
directlymediated to believers through Christ.
Redeeming Singleness offers an in-depth examination ofthe
redemptive history from which biblical singleness emerges.Danylak
illustrates the continuity of this affirmation ofsingleness by
showing how the Old Testament creation mandate andthe New Testament
kingdom mandate must both be understood in lightof God's plan of
redemption through spiritual rebirth inChrist.
As the trend toward singleness in the church increases, the
needfor constructive theological reflection likewise
grows.Redeeming Singleness meets this need, providingencouragement
to those who are single or ministering to singles andchallenging
believers from all walks of life to reflect more deeplyon the
sufficiency of Christ.
