    DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE: FOUR CHRISTIAN VIEWS

    edited by Wayne House


    published by Inter-Varsity Press, Downers Grove, IL, 1990,
    paperback, 267 pages
    Any pastor in any church will tell you that not a week goes by in which pastoral
    counselling must be performed to help a troubled marriage or to repair a failing
    marriage with someone in the church. And if you go into a Christian bookstore to find
    some good literature on the subject of divorce and re-marriage, you will encounter a
    vast number of books...each propounding a different biblical point of view.
    This 1990 book by Inter-Varsity Press goes to the heart of the differences concerning
    the issues of divorce and re-marriage by holding a symposium of four different major
    evangelical interpretations of the sensitive issue of divorce and re-marriage:
    1. NO DIVORCE/NO REMARRIAGE VIEW is defended by J. Carl Laney who is a
    professor at Western Seminary in Portland, OR.
    2. DIVORCE YES/NO REMARRIAGE VIEW is defended by William Heth who is a
    professor at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, TX.
    3. DIVORCE YES/REMARRIAGE YES VIEW (under 2 conditions only) is defended
    by Thomas Edgar who is a professor at Capital Bible Seminary in Lanham, MD
    4. DIVORCE YES/REMARRIAGE YES VIEW (under any conditions) is defended
    by Larry Richards who is a full time author of Christian books.
    Each person writes out an essay defending his own viewpoint and then the other three
    authors analyze and critique it. This format points out the strengths and weaknesses of
    each position from a biblical point of view. One really learns from reading this book
    how the phrase "ONE FLESH" can be interpreted in Genesis 2:24 or how the phrase
    "EXCEPT FOR FORNICATION" in Matthew 19:9 can be looked at in different ways.
    This is not an easy book to read and one must ride it hard in order to follow and to
    make sense of both the arguments and the points of disagreement. However, after
    reading and understanding this book, one will know precisely what points break or
    make a position on this very sensitive subject. This book is an absolute must read for
    anyone involved with performing marital counselling or for anyone really wanting to
    find out the truth in regards to these issues...given the point that in the current USA,

    there is a 50% marriage failure rate.
