OverviewThe Bible's teaching on divorce and remarriage has been interpreted in many ways. This poses a problem for the Christian community. When is divorce biblically permissible and when is it forbidden? And is remarriage ever permissible for a divorced Christian? The problem is particularly intense for Christian victims of marital abuse, who often believe they must choose between two unpleasant alternatives: endure the abuse, or face condemnation for disobeying the Bible. Not Under Bondage, written by a survivor of domestic abuse, explains the scriptural dilemmas of abuse victims, carefully examines the scriptures and scholarly research and shows how the Bible sets victims of abuse free from bondage and guilt.
