Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the doctrines on marriage and divorce set out in the Hebrew Bible and the teachings of Christ, from the historical and literary contexts of ancient Israel and the Roman Empire. The author investigates the Mosaic law in relation to adultery and divorce and the customs of the ancient Hebrews, exploring the permissibility of divorce, the grounds for it, and the processes involved. It also considers the views of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, the nuances of interpretation between the schools of thought led by the rabbis Hillel and Shammai, and the evolution of divorce laws and customs in Judaism and Christianity. The author includes observations on the laws and customs in ancient Greece, Rome, and other countries of the era, placing them alongside those of ancient Israel. The book also discusses the impact of Roman law on the development of divorce laws, the sanctity of marriage, and the changing ideals of sexuality and family life. Through this historical and comparative analysis, the author presents a comprehensive account of the evolving views on adultery and divorce, highlighting the significance of these insights for understanding the nature of marriage and the role of law and religion in shaping marital and sexual norms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
