Synopsis

If the church is going to use the Bible to decide whether divorce is legitimate in certain cases and whether divorced couples have the right to remarry with the approval and blessing of God’s people, then the Bible must be studied without prejudice toward a particular answer. The author examines the relevant passages in both the Old and New Testaments so that his readers can consider the many issues and interpretations that arise in trying to establish a consistently biblical position. As a result, readers can see more clearly and accept more firmly the truth of Scripture. The book succeeds at being exactly what the author wanted it to be: "a comprehensive, lucid, accurate study presented in a readable and practical style. . . ." It is a valuable resource for the pastor, counselor, church leader, and others who are struggling to understand and apply scriptural principles to the problems of divorce and remarriage.

Best book by Adams I’ve read so far. I appreciate his distinctions and willingness to let Scripture carry the weight. The forgiveness of sins is Christ is an offense to many even in the church and needs to be better applied to divorce and remarriage.......more

Goodreads review by Brian

Excellent! Clear writing and thorough exposition of a complex topic. Adams argues that divorce is always the result of sin, but is not always sinful. Divorce (and hence remarriage) is not sinful when (a) an unbelieving partner wants a divorce (1 Cor 7:12-14) or (b) a partner has proved him or hersel......more

Goodreads review by Some Christian Lady

This book, in addition to other research on the topic of marriage and divorce, has finally lifted the burden I have felt for the last 8 years. Prior to becoming a Christian, I got married and shortly afterward, divorced. It was entirely my fault. Several years later, before I was converted, I got re......more
