Despite a strong belief in the institution and sacredness of
marriage, studies show that Christian spouses experience divorce at
least as much as the secular population. But whatever the reasons
for a divorce--beyond the divorce itself--many Christians want to
know: does the Bible support remarriage? The fact is that no
consensus exists among evangelicals on their views of remarriage,
leaving many Christians confused. This Counterpoints volume
explores the biblical and practical cases for the three main
evangelical views on remarriage after divorce: Remarriage is not
acceptable after divorce - defended by Gordon J. Wenham Remarriage
is acceptable only after adultery or desertion - defended by
William A. Heth Remarriage is acceptable for a variety of reasons -
defended by Craig S. Keener Each of the three contributors offers
his point of view succinctly and with biblical support, and each
interacts with the others to help readers come to their own
conclusions. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and
critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that
are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each
volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the
different positions on a specific issue and form their own,
educated opinion.
