A Fresh Look at What Scripture Teaches

A valuable resource for the pastor, the counselor, and individuals, who are struggling to understand and apply scriptural principles to the problems of divorce and remarriage.

This is the book that many pastors, counselors, and theologians consider to be the most biblical and the most helpful on the issue of marriage and divorce.

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.
