This author sees marriage as a contract rather than a covenant. He also concludes that the 1 Cor. 7 passage on "not bound" could only mean, by process of elimination, that someone who was left against their will was free to remarry. Interesting perspective that is different from the Marriage Permanence crowd. Great book for understanding the how the concept of divorce changed over the centuries. A review of David Instone-Brewer's book, "Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible: The Social and Literary Context" __________________________ Join the Mission to Protect Families: Standing Strong for Marriages relies on recurring monthly donations; you can support us here: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/standingstrongformarriages Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/SS4M Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/StandingStrongForMarriages Message me if you want to share a testimony, either with video or audio only.
