Biblically the best answers

You already respect Jay Adams. This little book should be a brief but required course of study for any Bible-believing church leader or pastor. Too much damage is being caused in Christ's church by well-meaning but misinformed leaders. Read, study and even repent where necessary. Go after those branded second-class Christians who have been turned off and shelved. Reflect the Glory of a just and merciful Savior.

Thank God - finally a view not based on emotions but on sound exegesis

Finally somebody has dealt with this issue on exegetical grounds rather than on emotional grounds. There has been done so much harm to the church by a totally wrong understanding of what marriage is. This wrong view of marriage leads to a false understanding of divorce and remarriage. How much pain and absurd situations, broken marriages and shunned church members has been caused by pastors (even by men like John Piper and John MacArthur), elders and church members who rush to conclusions caused by the Greaco-Roman-Hollywood understanding of marriage rather than a biblical view of marriage. Sola Scriptura - not Solo Emotio!!

Divorce and Remarriage

This is the best book on divorce and remarriage from a Biblical perspective that I have ever read.

It is neither to legalistic or to liberal. It gives good balance to encourage marriage for a lifetime and to give hope to those who have experienced divorce.

This is a good read for pastors trying to form an opinion for themselves and also wanting to be the most helpful to the hurting.

Biblical is Foundational

In this book Jay Adams addresses a topic that could not be more practical in the Church. Marriage, divorce, and remarriage are topics that have been debated and quarreled over since the inception of the Church, but especially so in the last 50 years with Feminism becoming what it has and postmodernity influencing the moral framework by which people examine what is right and true.

Dr. Adams does a faithful job of presenting a Biblical perspective on these issues; mind that Biblical does not always line up with what is stereotypical of Christianity in some conservative circles, it means the view is drawn directly from scripture as best as Adams knows how with the presupposition that it is scripture itself which contains the truth by which we are to live and pursue godliness.

Essentially it is Biblical, but it might be surprising for some. It surprised me, but upon examining the text, it true to a biblical worldview.
