Summary: shows how easy it is to misinterpret this area
Comment: This book by evangelical Christians shows how easy it is to misinterpret this area of marriage and divorce. If you read this book and get confused, read David Instone-Brewer's "Divorce and Remarriage: The Social and Literary Context" for a extremely scholarly approach to trying to determine what these verses meant in the 1st century context. The whole teaching of the Bible can set you free. Did you know God is a divorce'? Do you know the reasons He gave Israel a divorce? It is all there but is seldom taught.

Summary: Mediocre Overview of Four Views on Divorce and Remarriage
Comment: This book isn't for everyone -- persons wanting a straightforward, Biblically-based position on divorce and remarriage should look elsewhere. For most believers, this volume will bring more confusion than clarity. For persons who are familiar with these various views however, there is some helpful information present.
The four views stated are: no divorce no remarriage, divorce but no remarriage, divorce and remarriage for adultery or desertion, and divorce and remarriage under a variety of circumstances. The first three positions are offered with so many footnotes and scholarly jargon that the reader gets lost in the shuffle. Only Richards, who presents the fourth view, is easy to understand and to follow in his reasoning.
I can only recommend this book to Christian leaders who want to read a large sampling of materials on this topic. It certainly is not a concise summary of the various viewpoints on divorce and remarriage. For a single, straightforward presentation on this subject, try "Remarriage: A Healing Gift of God" by Larry Richards.

Summary: A fascinating book covering many beliefs about divorce
Comment: This book contains a debade among four leading Evangelical Christian theologians on the topic of divorce and subsequent remarriage. They are between a rock and a hard place, because they all believe that the Bible is inerrant and is the Word of God. Thus, it must be internally consistent, and error free. Yet the Bible clearly says different things about if and when divorce is permitted. In some cases, the Bible instructs some couples to divorce. In other cases, passages say that divorce is optional. In still other cases, it says that divorce is not permitted. Watching these four intelligent, devout, thougtful theologians try to harmonize the Bible's passages on divorce is impressive.
Unfortunately, they do not deal with the obvious explination: that the Bible describes an evolution of religous and cultural thought over a little more than a millennium, and we must seek our own answers today.
