Synopsis

Once divorced, forever barred from church leadership sometimes even from full fellowship. Isn't that what the plain sense of Scripture teaches? No, says Keener. In this compassionate and carefully documented study, he first explores how the early Christians would have understood the statements of Jesus and Paul on divorce and remarriage. Keener then builds a soundly scriptural view of divorce and re-marriage a view that reminds the church that all of its members are forgiven people.
