Kutter Callaway

Breaking the Marriage Idol

Reconstructing Our Cultural and Spiritual Norms

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Should all Christians be married? Kutter Callaway considers why marriage, which is a blessing from God, shouldn't be expected or required of all Christians. Through an examination of Scripture, cultural analysis, and personal accounts, he reflects on how our narratives have limited our understanding of marriage and obscured our view of the life-giving and kingdom-serving roles of single people in the church.
