Divorce and Remarriage: What Does the Bible Really Say?

Though Old Testament law permitted divorce--the Lord himself, figuratively, went through a divorce--by the time of Jesus, Jewish men were abusing this law by divorcing wives "for any cause." This book answers the questions: In which situations does the New Testament permit divorce? Are divorced Christians who have remarried "living in adultery"? Church dogma often targets the wounded, rejecting the very ones who need Christ's healing touch, thereby further complicating the pain and rejection of these wounded ones. While not encouraging frivolous marriage dissolutions, this book deals with the issues of divorce and remarriage from a biblical perspective--looking below the surface of what some have SAID the Bible teaches--to understand the obvious intent of Scriptural passages which deal with these issues.
