Divorce and Remarriage in the Church

May a Christian get divorced and remarried? Jesus seems to forbid divorce, even for violent abuse, and seems to forbid remarriage even for the victim. Gives clear guidance about biblical grounds for divorce and remarriage which are both practical and fair in today's imperfect world. David Instone-Brewer examines the evidence and shows how, when understood in its ancient context, the New Testament provides realistic and wise guidance which is of urgent relevance to the contemporary church. Both Jesus and Paul, he argues, allowed divorce and remarriage for a range of reasons.
