Attitudes towards divorce have changed considerably over the past
two centuries. As society has moved away from a Biblical definition
of marriage as an indissoluble union, to that of an individual and
personal relationship, secular laws have evolved as well. Using
unpublished sources and previously inaccessible private
collections, Holmes explores the significant role the Church of
England has played in these changes, as well as the impact this has
had on ecclesiastical policies. This timely study will be relevant
to ongoing debates about the meaning and nature of marriage,
including the theological doctrines and ecclesiastical policies
underlying current debates on same-sex marriage.
