Despite the fact that almost half of all Americans are single,
singleness remains an often overlooked oddity in American culture
and in Christian communities. Christians ought to be the people who
most support singleness, given what scripture and tradition
suggest, but this does not seem to be the case. In this exciting
new work, Jana Marguerite Bennett examines a variety of usually
forgotten models of singleness: the never-married, the casually
uncommitted, the committed but unmarried, the same-sex attracted,
the widowed, the divorced, and the single parent. Each chapter in
Singleness and the Church takes one of these models and considers
the cultural commentary, Christian debate, and a holy guide, a
person who lived that way of being single, in order to offer a new
perspective on singleness, the church, and what it means to be a
single Christian disciple. In Singleness and the Church, Bennett
provides a fresh new theology of single life, a starting point for
restoring singleness, in all its amazing varieties, to its rightful
place in Christian tradition.
