What does the Bible really say about divorce and remarriage?
Are you unclear how the Bible's directives about divorce and remarriage apply to contemporary conflicts? You might be looking for solid biblical counsel for family, friends, or small group. Maybe even for yourself.
With its high view of the authority of Scripture and God's mystical, one-flesh union called marriage, this in-depth study respectfully examines hot-button topics relevant to both husbands and wives who have suffered the heartbreak of betrayed marital vows.
· Who does God see as the innocent spouse?
· What are legit biblical grounds for divorce?
· Did Jesus contradict Moses about divorce?
· Are abandoned Christians free to remarry?
Whether individually or as part of a small group Bible study, dig deep into what Scripture really says in its pertinent context and you might just be surprised at what you'll discover: the empathy of God's heart for the innocent spouse.
STRAIGHT TALK BIBLE STUDIES provide balanced counsel to those seeking to apply insights from God's Word to contemporary Christian living. Divorce - Remarriage and the Innocent Spouse focuses on how the Scriptures speak to marriages in crisis, reconciliation, biblical grounds for divorce and remarriage, and why God is so concerned not only with preserving the marital covenant, but also with the plight of betrayed husbands and wives.

Workbook style applications make this study suitable for individual or group Bible study.

I found this book very helpful. I will likely further read it again. I have long struggled with the long taught that only adultery is grounds for a biblical divorce. I now believe that emotional and physical abuse is grounds enough for a biblical divorce because I believe God does not want us to stay with someone who is doing these things. And that I was free to remarry after our divorce.
