Book Review: Jennifer Beste, College Hookup Culture and Christian Ethics: The Lives and Longings of Emerging Adults

Does this work represent a coherent ‘new theology of the single life’? Probably not. What it does offer is many fruitful ideas that can, and should, be developed further. In fairness to Bennett, this is precisely how she reflects on her own project in her conclusion: it is ‘a beginning for thinking about theologies of singleness’ (p. 207). Singleness and the Church provides one such starting point, and is a valuable partner in the conversation that, hopefully, will continue to challenge and enrich contemporary theological discussion and church practice.
