| marriage divorce and remarriage: Marriage, Divorce, Remarriage Andrew J. Cherlin, 1992-09-28 With roller coaster changes in marriage and divorce rates apparently leveling off in the 1980s, Andrew Cherlin feels that the time is right for an overall assessment of marital trends. His graceful and informal book surveys and explains the latest research on marriage, divorce, and remarriage since World War II.Cherlin presents the facts about family change over the past thirty-five years and examines the reasons for the trends that emerge. He views the 1950s, when Americans were marrying and having children early and divorcing infrequently, as the aberration, and he discusses why this period was unusual. He also explores the causes and consequences of the dramatic changes since 1960--increases in divorce, remarriage, and cohabitation, decreases in fertility--that are altering the very definition of the family in our society. He concludes with a discussion of the increasing differences in the marital patterns of black and white families over the past few decades. |

| marriage divorce and remarriage: Remarriage is Adultery Unless... David Pawson, 2013-02-01 Consecutive polygamy (as many husbands or wives as you like but only one at a time) is now an accepted norm in contemporary society. Hardly surprising, since the social, legal, moral and financial restraints holding marriages together for a lifetime have been steadily eroded in a relativist age where anything goes. What is surprising is that divorce and remarriage are becoming as common inside the church as outside, even among Christian leaders and especially in the Evangelical stream. Believers have been outspoken about such issues as abortion and homosexuality though their Lord Jesus said nothing about either. He did say quite a lot about the subject of this book but there is either a reluctance to take his teaching at face value or an eagerness to enlarge his ‘exception’ until it becomes the rule. This volume primarily appeals to those for whom the Bible is the final authority in all matters of belief and behaviour, especially those who preach to, teach and counsel others. The author believes that the church should be leading the world uphill rather than following the world downhill. David Pawson has a worldwide teaching ministry, particularly for church leaders. He is known to many through Christian broadcasting and is the author of numerous books. |
| marriage divorce and remarriage: Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible David Instone-Brewer, 2002-06-07 To many, the New Testament's teaching on divorce and remarriage seems to be both impractical and unfair. The plain meaning of the texts allows for divorce only in cases of adultery or desertion, and it does not permit remarriage until the death of one's former spouse. But are these proscriptions the final word for Christians today? Are we correctly reading the scriptures that address these issues? By looking closely at the biblical texts on divorce and remarriage in light of the first-century Jewish and Greco-Roman world, this book shows that the original audience of the New Testament heard these teachings differently. Through a careful exploration of the background literature of the Old Testament, the ancient Near East, and especially ancient Judaism, David Instone-Brewer constructs a biblical view of divorce and remarriage that is wider in scope than present-day readings. Among the important findings of the book are that both Jesus and Paul condemned divorce without valid grounds and discouraged divorce even for valid grounds; that both Jesus and Paul affirmed the Old Testament grounds for divorce; that the Old Testament allowed divorce for adultery and for neglect or abuse; and that both Jesus and Paul condemned remarriage after an invalid divorce but not after a valid divorce. Instone-Brewer shows that these principles are not only different from the traditional church interpretation of the New Testament but also directly relevant to modern relationships. Enhanced with pastoral advice on how to apply the biblical teaching in today's context, this volume will be a valuable resource for anyone seeking serious answers about married life. |

| marriage divorce and remarriage: Divorce and Remarriage Christian Communicators Worldwide, Daryl Wingerd, 2009-01 Bible-believing Christians agree that it is essential to act on Jesus' words while the present storm of marital unfaithfulness and divorce swirls around us. Yet there is uncertainty about Jesus' commands concerning divorce and remarriage. Do we truly understand the words of Christ (and Paul)? In Divorce and Remarriage: A Permanence View, the authors explain in detail why they believe that Jesus did not allow divorce for any reason and did not permit remarriage if a former spouse was living. This view proposes that the exception clause given by Jesus must be understood in its ethnic and exegetical context if Christ's intent for marriage is to be fully comprehended. The result is a perspective that harmonizes all of what Paul and the Gospels teach about divorce and remarriage. The authors' view is summarized in the following three statements: the one flesh-union created in marriage is permanent until death; initiating a divorce is never lawful; remarrying after divorce is an act of adultery if a former spouse is living. |
| marriage divorce and remarriage: Divorce and Remarriage Craig Everett, 2014-03-18 Divorce and Remarriage brings together for the first time a unique collection of international studies focusing on many aspects of divorce particular to individual cultures. It looks at the implications of divorce on the personal level, as well as on the broader social level, in several different countries. On the personal level, it discusses smoking and alcohol use as stress factors in marriage and the effects of divorce on children, and, on the social level, it discusses a country’s level of development and urbanization and its impact on marriage patterns and divorce rates. With divorce rates soaring, it is more important than ever to understand why people worldwide are failing to adopt sounder mate selection and marriage timing practices. To give readers a glimpse of the divorce experience from a global perspective, the authors of Divorce and Remarriage contrast divorce processes and issues in their countries with other experiences worldwide. The book explores consensual partnering and its relation to patterns of marriage and divorce, the differences between fathers without custody and mothers with custody, and fathers’and children’s ethical and legal rights and the importance of their emotional and social relationships. It also discusses the importance of determining the connection between maternal attitudes and the development of children, as well as the relationship between parental separation/divorce and adolescent values. Other topics discussed at length in this important book are: the possible stress prevention role of social support in the post-separation period nontraditional stepfamily lifestyles and the well-being of adolescents in different cultures maternal stress and its impact on children widowhood and remarriage in different countries long-standing marital problems and their effect on each gender predictors of national marriage rates single parents’distress Divorce and Remarriage provides educators, researchers, mental health clinicians, and policymakers with information that can help alleviate the stress divorce causes for both individuals and society as a whole. The book’s model for evaluating the readiness of a couple for separation or divorce, its recommendations for mediation, and innovative ideas for providing single parents with better social networking and services are sure to improve the way divorces, parental rights, and children’s interests are handled around the world. |

| marriage divorce and remarriage: The Bible on Divorce and Remarriage Michael Pearl, 2015-10 Historically, Christians have been divided on the issue of divorce and remarriage; many institutions and theologies coming down on the side that it is adultery to remarry while one's former spouse is still alive. This is consistent with the words of Jesus in Matthew and the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans. Others stand by the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians where he clearly declares that it is not a sin to marry again if you were put away (abandoned or divorced) by an unbelieving spouse. There seems to be a conflict in Scripture regarding divorce and remarriage. You do not have to pick a side to the exclusion of the other. There is a marvelous harmony in the Word of God. In this book you will see Scripture in all of its glorious consistency, and you will appreciate the divine logic. The subjects of divorce, remarriage and adultery have confused both Christians and their pastors alike. In this thorough exegesis of all the Bible texts concerning divorce and remarriage, Michael Pearl answers these issues with the Word of God, revealing the perfect harmony in Scripture and God's divine plan for marriage. This is not a lecture or a diatribe against those who are divorced. If you are a pastor or counselor you will find this book to be a great tool to instruct those who are troubled by this subject. |
| marriage divorce and remarriage: Divorce and Remarriage Andrew Cornes, 2002 What does the Bible teach about Divorce? May a Christian remarry during the lifetime of a divorced partner? With the increasing number of divorces and second marriages, such questions now touch every family and every church. Cornes addresses these and other questions in a comprehensive and balanced manner. Cornes begins his book with a theology of marriage and singleness, examining all the significant Old and New Testament passages. He concentrates especially on the teaching of Jesus and the interpretation of that teaching by Paul and the early church. The second part of the book discusses the implications of the biblical teaching of pastoral ministry in the local church, dealing with a host of real life questions in a practical way. |
| marriage divorce and remarriage: Jesus, Divorce, and Remarriage Gordon J. Wenham, 2020-01-15 What did Jesus really say about divorce and remarriage? Challenging the evangelical near-consensus that Jesus permitted divorce and remarriage in certain circumstances, Gordon Wenham argues that while Jesus permitted separation in cases of sexual immorality, he did not permit divorce and remarriage. Presenting a revisitation and expansion of several decades of thought and debate on the topic, Wenham builds his case from a close reading of Jesus' teaching in the Gospels, showing how his teaching pushed against the culture of his day. In addition, Wenham brings in insights from ancient Near Eastern marriage laws, the Old Testament, the writings of Paul, and the earliest Christian interpreters of the Gospel divorce texts. Readers will be challenged by a careful biblical argument that provides a counterpoint to the majority view. No study on divorce and remarriage will be complete without considering Jesus, Divorce, and Remarriage. |
| marriage divorce and remarriage: Remarriage after Divorce in Today's Church Zondervan,, 2009-12-15 Despite a strong belief in the institution and sacredness of marriage, studies show that Christian spouses experience divorce at least as much as the secular population. But whatever the reasons for a divorce--beyond the divorce itself--many Christians want to know: does the Bible support remarriage? The fact is that no consensus exists among evangelicals on their views of remarriage, leaving many Christians confused. This Counterpoints volume explores the biblical and practical cases for the three main evangelical views on remarriage after divorce: Remarriage is not acceptable after divorce - defended by Gordon J. Wenham Remarriage is acceptable only after adultery or desertion - defended by William A. Heth Remarriage is acceptable for a variety of reasons - defended by Craig S. Keener Each of the three contributors offers his point of view succinctly and with biblical support, and each interacts with the others to help readers come to their own conclusions. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion. |
| marriage divorce and remarriage: Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage Samuel G. Dawson, 2010-11-01 This book deals with the issues! Is sexual intercourse a right or a condition of marriage? In the Bible, betrothal was marriage, not engagement to be married. What is civil government's interest in marriage? Common-law marriage in the Bible. Is fondling sexual intercourse? Why most adulterers in the Old Testament were not stoned to death. Was God really loose on divorce in the Old Testament? Is the Sermon on the Mount Old or New Testament teaching? Is celibacy refraining from sex or refraining from marriage? Two problems that have to be worked to resolve any unscriptural divorce and remarriage situation. What are the three ways a person can commit adultery? God doesn't hate all divorce, at least equally. Must one divorce an impenitent fornicating spouse? Every exception clause in the Bible contains a necessary implication. Is there a guilty party in Mt. 5.32 or Mt. 19.9? May one guilty party put away another? How does an unjustly put-away person put away a fornicating spouse? Why whether a put-away fornicator may remarry is hardly the issue. Four questions, which if answered, may lead to a solution of every question on marriage, divorce, and remarriage. Is divorce and remarriage private or church business? Church limitations in dealing with divorce. Can a local church study these issues for itself and determine its own conduct on these matters? If not, let's not hear any more about local church autonomy. |

Purcell, 2008-04 This book starts by focusing on Medieval creativity and the first, and later attempts at written music, from the earliest days on into the Ars Nova period, so as to show the eventual evolution to Renaissance triadic counterpoint. The second, more important focus is on an adapted set of Species exercises, with all the benefits of its strict rules. The third focus is on freer creativity within the learned rules. The final focus is on the English Madrigal, and how it bridges to Baroque tonality. A prose Appendix historically orients the student with overview summaries of the Renaissance period. |

| marriage divorce and remarriage: Once Saved, Always Saved? David Pawson, 2021-07-30 The majority Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always? David Pawson investigates this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us decide whether 'once saved, always saved' is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others. |
| marriage divorce and remarriage: Disqualified? Dave Miller, 2021-04-22 I want to stick with what the Bible says. No compromise. The church has operated on the assumption that all divorce is always sin and disqualifies every man as serving as a pastor, elder, or deacon. Variations from that position have been viewed as compromise of the Word of God. After studying every passage in the Bible that deals with divorce and remarriage, Dave Miller has come to a different position. In Disqualified, he examines the Old Testament evidence that sets the cornerstone and lays the foundation of the biblical teaching, then looks at the framework constructed in Jesus' radical teachings. He examines the finishing touches put on by Paul, especially in 1 Corinthians 7, establishing the key biblical teachings on divorce, remarriage, and ministry. God's intent from creation was that marriage be a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, but in a world broken by sin also granted exceptions based on the hardness of the human heart. After surveying the biblical evidence, Dave Miller asks several key questions for individuals and churches to consider. Have those who been divorced been permanently disqualified from leadership positions in churches? What does the phrase, husband of one wife mean? The church cannot ignore this subject and must search the Scriptures to seek the mind of Christ on it. Simply relying on tradition or doing what pleases people is not sufficient. God's word is always right and Dave Miller is convinced that we need to take a new look at this difficult topic. |
| marriage divorce and remarriage: Divorce and Remarriage Olan Hicks, 2025-02-10 Divorce is devastating and all too common, leaving shattered lives and broken spirits.
