For too long the "church" has been imposing a non-Biblical interpretation to this important issue. By applying 21st or 17th century European meanings to 1st century Jewish thoughts has sentenced millions of people to a life of bondage and dispair. David Instone-Brewer has, at last, given us a realistic view of what Jesus meant and what the Bible truely teaches. Far from a license to throw away our spouses because the car wasn't washed right, this study shows that in extreme cases God does not expect us to suffer at the hands of unrighteous spouses but allows us to remove ourselves for specific reasons beyond "except for fornication," whatever that was supposed to mean. I bought this book to see what the author had to say. I was prepared for a bunch of twisted thought and Scripture. What I found was a well reasoned, and completly logical, arguement. I encourage anyone who is interested in what the 1st century church felt, and practiced, regarding this issue to get and study this book.Read full review
Awesome book, God loves us more than we know and wants us to be truly happy in all of our relationships. And sometimes, it is wise and healthy to get out of a harmful relationship.
