About this Item

Paperback. Like New. Divorce and remarriage in the Church have been subjects of debate and controversy for centuries and the issue is of increasing importance today. With conflicting messages coming from different branches of the Church many Christians understandably are confused as to what the Bible really teaches. William Heth and Gordon Wenham explore the differenct schools if interpretation and present a fresh consideration of the various statements of Jesus and Paul drawing on linguistic and contemporary cultural evidence. They closely criticise the view that allows remarriage after divorce on the grounds of immorality, widely held by evangelicals today. Instead the authors turn to the Early Church which permitted divorce but not remarriage. This is an important contribution to the ongoing debate on divorce which offers a positive way forward for those searching for an understanding of the subject.
