Gives clear guidance about biblical grounds for divorce and
remarriage which are both practical and fair in today's imperfect
world. To many people, the Bible appears to have nothing sensible
or relevant to say about divorce and remarriage. Its teaching often
seems harsh and in saying that the only ground for divorce is
adultery, it appears to condemn the victims of marital abuse to a
lifetime sentence with their partner. New research into the
background literature of the Bible, the ancient Near East and
ancient Judaism shows that the original hearers of these teachings
would have understood them very differently. It has revealed that:
* Jesus and Paul rejected no-fault divorces and emphasised that
divorce should be avoided if at all possible. * 1st century Jewish
men and women could get divorced for neglect or abuse as well as
for adultery. Jesus did not reject these grounds and Paul
specifically affirmed them. * In the 1st century, remarriage was
the right of every divorcee and neither Jesus nor Paul taught
otherwise. 288 pages, from Paternoster.
