Summary: a book that needs to be seriously considered
Comment: The authors review the history of the exegesis of the New Testament divorce texts, critique contemporary exegesis, and present their own. Quite comprehensive AND uncompromising (it is not uncommon these days for authors on a subject like this to bend the truth - sometimes unconsciously - in the name of compassion and have the effect - if not the intention - of enabling people to fulfill their sinful desires with a cleaner conscience; these authors are not guilty of this).
Cultural background is very fashionable these days. Yes, it does provide important insights, but it is not as determinative as some are inclined to think! Two things to keep in mind in this regard: 1) 2 Timothy 3:16 states that Scripture was inspired by God, not by the cultural enviroment; 2) It is impossible for any contemporary mortal to know for sure how something would have been understood 2,000 years ago (even with all the ancient literature and inscriptions that we have). This book is by serious scholars doing serious analysis (who do consider cultural background).

Summary: better than Lacey but not a lot
Comment: They teach that divorce is possible, but not remarriage. This was NOT the way 1st century Jews and Gentiles would understand the relevant verses. For that, see David Instone-Brewer's "Divorce and Remarriage: The Social and Literary Context" which gives a comprehensive teaching in this sensitive area.
