Remarriage & Adultery: In the Bible (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692161234)

This book takes a look at divorce and remarriage. It compares Old and New Testaments, Jewish Tradition, Church History, and contracts and covenants. Man was created to lead the family. That means divorce and remarriage should be looked at through a patriarchal lens. Only the man was allowed to divorce his wife (Deuteronomy 24:1). Jesus did not give the woman permission to divorce her husband in the Old and New Testament. Jesus commands, if the woman initiated a divorce, she was to remain unmarried or reconcile to her husband (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). However, the man was told he is free to marry when loosed from a wife (1 Corinthians 7:27-28). The divorced woman is not free unless she was put away by her husband or if he dies (widow), releasing her from the law ("rule" Genesis 3:16) of her husband (Deuteronomy 24:1-4; Matthew 19:9; Romans 7:2; 1 Corinthians 7:39-40). Unless a widow was the wife of only one husband, she was not to partake in the widow's fund (1 Timothy 5:9-10).
