Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible The Social and Literary Context
Instone-Brewer, David
Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible The Social and Literary Context David Instone-Brewer - U.S.A. William B. Eerdmans Pub. Co. 2002 - 355tr. paperback, illustrations 24 cm
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.
