The Significance of Singleness (with Christina Hitchcock)

The number of single adults has been growing for the past few decades in the US and today the number of households headed by a single person are more than 50% of all households. Yet in many churches the unwritten norm is “married with children,” and marriage is often seen as a sign of maturity. So where does that leave single adults, especially those who feel that they might be called to singleness? Join us for an insightful conversation with theologian Dr. Christina Hitchcock as she talks about the Kingdom value of singleness in her book, The Significance of Singleness. She has great insight for both single and married adults.  Dr. Christina Hitchcock is Professor of Theology at the University of Sioux Falls in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She earned her Ph.D. in theology from the University of Aberdeen and is the author of The Significance of Singleness: A Theological Vision for the Future of the Church.   Read a transcript of this episode at: https://www.biola.edu/blogs/think-biblically/2019/significance-of-singleness  ==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at [email protected].
