Unsound Doctrine.......2006-03-27

I have read Jay Adams book and will make a full review later (I want to read John Murray's book first), but came across a review that I agree with. I will have more to critique than this reviewer does, but it is a good start.

Book Title: Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage In the Bible
Book Author: Dr. Jay E. Adams
Our Rating: Poor
Book Theme

Taking a concept-by-concept approach, Dr. Adams examines the fundamentals of marriage, then divorce, and ultimately, remarriage. Relying heavily on the Scriptures, Dr. Adams avoids using traditions as a basis for establishing the doctrines of matrimony and marriage dissolution.

Analysis of the Book
Reading this book and writing this review was a personal disappointment. Dr. Adams is one of my personal spiritual role models whom I hold in the highest regard. Sadly, this book fails to achieve a proper understanding of the nature of divorce and remarriage based upon a faulty interpretation of Scripture.

Dr. Adams does a genuinely thorough biblical evaluation of the question, "what is a marriage?" The principles of marriage as outlined by God in His Word are well documented. Additionally, the concept of engaged men and women in both the Old and New Testament being called "husbands" and "wives" is convincingly extracted and described from the Bible by Dr. Adams.
Even the bulk of Dr. Adams' treatment of the subject of divorce is keenly derived from the Scriptures. God certainly hates divorce and has established considerable warnings to men from initiating such proceedings. While controversial, this reviewer found that much of the chapter dealing with the "exception clauses" was consistently and properly handled.

With so much of the book being biblically acceptable, why is such a harsh disapproval applied to this book by the reviewer? Primarily because of a simple misinterpretation of one passage: 1Corinthians 7:25-28. Dr. Adams commits a fundamental exegetical fallacy (to borrow a term from D.A. Carson) by taking verses 27 and 28 out of context, interpreting them as stand alone verses, and then issuing sweeping doctrinal statements that contradict uncounted passages of scripture that state the opposite.

Simply stated, 1Corinthians 7:25-28 refers to virgins who are engaged to be married. Engaged virgins are properly referred to as "husbands and wives" in the New and Old Testaments. Verses 25-28 state that virgins may end their engagements and remain single, may marry each other as planned, or may end their engagements and marry other people--and all without sinning or without their actions being labeled "adultery".
If one were to remove verses 27 and 28 from their context of verses 25-28 and then interpret them, one might be tempted to believe that this was a blanket permission for all married people to get a divorce, then remarry other people, and be free of having committed any sins, including adultery. Such an outcome would directly contradict many Bible passages, but none so blatantly as Jesus' own words, "whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery" (Matthew 5:32b).

Having made a doctrinal left turn, the good work done earlier in the book is systematically dismantled by the author. Since the out-of-context interpretation of 1Corinthians 7:27,28 seemingly permits everyone who gets a divorce for any reason at all to be remarried without it being called a sin: all people can be divorced (without sin), all divorced people can be remarried to others (without sin), divorce loses all stigma, and Jesus was mistaken to teach that one who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. The outcome then, is that a divorce ends a marriage, all obligations of the marriage, and the person can claim to be free to remarry whomever they wish just as if they were a virgin.

Scripturally this is not appropriate. Jesus' words still stand, divorced people who remarry others are committing adultery, and it is engaged virgins who may break their commitments to marry without it being considered a sin. Proper biblical interpretation is critical to the development of sound doctrine, and regrettably this book does not meet that standard.
As a result of this error, the book becomes all but incomprehensible, lost in a maze of discussion about legitimate divorces and illegitimate divorces, all divorces ending a marriage thereby releasing all parties from all obligations of marriage-but maybe not all, reconciliation being preferred albeit optional as is remarriage, and so on. It becomes nearly impossible to determine who would ever be guilty of committing adultery by the act of remarriage, if in fact, anyone would be using this text. Such a conclusion to this study makes a complex subject even more difficult.
Conclusion

In spite of his track record of writing truly outstanding biblical treatises, this book is not up to the typical quality of Dr. Adams' other works. Though much of the book is indeed well developed from the Scriptures, a poor interpretation of one key passage causes Dr. Adams to draw numerous incorrect conclusions about the permanence of marriage and the permissibility of divorced persons to be remarried without incurring a label of adultery.
As a definitive work on divorce and remarriage, this book is best left on the shelf. If one were to read only for the sections on marriage there would be some benefit. Using this book as a basis for marital counseling would not be wise.

Biblical is Foundational.......2006-03-23

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 very framework by which people are thinking.

Dr. Adams does a great job of presenting the Biblical view on these issues; mind that Biblical does not mean just what is stereotypical of Christianity in conservative circles, it means the view is drawn directly from scripture without presuppositions to condition the way that one will interpret the Bible.

Essentially it is Biblical and it might be surprising for some evangelicals. It surprised me, but upon examining the text, it is, indeed, accurate.

Biblically the best answers.......2006-02-21

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.

excellent summary; with one flaw.......2005-09-25

Competent to Counsel was epoch making for kicking off the Biblical Counseling movement, and his manual on church discipline is very good. But otherwise I find his writings sometimes a tad narrow. And I think he seems to fail to see the irony in the ways his own Biblical readings are shaped by psychology (esp. Behavorialism). The contemporary CCEF authors are better, I think.

But this book on marriage is about the best short summary of the key texts and applications I've found. The only major flaw: in chapter 1 (pp.8-20) he wisely asks what the most foundational purpose of marriage is. He rightly refutes certain cultural answers -- procreation, happiness, sex, etc. These are important but secondary. But then in the end he chooses an equally problematic answer -- marriage is primarily a 'covenant of companionship.' Doesn't Gen. 1-2 say that?

But, I wonder, if companionship is the foundation of marriage, then what if one partner is not being a loving companion? Can the other partner freely leave? Adams would say no, but he's being inconsistent. I think the Bible teaches in Gen. 1-2, read in light of Eph. 5, COl. 3, Rev. 21 etc., that marriage's primary purpose is to make us image bearers of God. Then Gen. 1-2 ('not good to be alone') is saying that a male-female couple together bear the image of God better than one person can alone.

Anyway, if you cut that section out, this is an excellent book.

a fresh wind of reason and sanity...........2005-07-09

Divorce and remarriage is not the unpardonable sin that our generation has made it into. Although divorce itself is not a sin (lest God Himself sin), it is, however, a result of sin. But like all other sins, it may be forgiven, and remarriage desirable. Here is the biblical proofs for those who care enough to look, with compassion and understanding of human fraility (say hello to David), and learn, that the church might restore and strengthen those hurt (by their own sin? yes, but hurt nonetheless), rather than the verbal stoning most often administered by the church. May God bring us back to sanity, and leave our latest "hot potato" behind, and move to the full understanding of the matter. Jay Adams, like Murray, has done us all a great service.

Even the "guilty" party may be forgiven by the Blood of Christ.

Divorce is not a sin; but is the result of sin. May the church stop stoning its hurting ones, who, like good and strong men (Peter, David, Jacob, and others) have been plagued with weakness, infirmity, and fraility, so that none could stand and boast before God, that they are anything but sinners saved by grace.

To read some of the legalists today, you would wonder if they, being so perfect, have any need for forgiveness. Take heed, you who condemn others, lest you fall as well.

Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible: The Social and Literary Context.......2007-07-03

I have gained greater understanding about divorce and remarriage in the Bible and I am better equipped to help those who are wounded by it. Mr. Brewer has done a wonderful job! I would recommend this book to pastors and other leaders in churches.

Scholarly and informative.......2006-06-30

David Instone-Brewer has done a service to the church with this text. Doing some other research on this topic, I was led to this book by Rick Walston's wonderful text, "Something Happened on the Way to Happily Ever After: A Biblical View of Marriage, Divorce & Remarriage." Walston and Instone-Brewer come to basically the same conclusions, but Walston indicates early on that his book is written at the popular level for, what he calls, "the normal everyday Christian." Yet, in his book, he suggests Instone-Brewer's text for further research. And, I'm glad he did. While Walston's book is good for the average Joe/Jane Christian, Instone-Brewer's book is for the avid student or scholar and a better scholarly text I have not found.

Exemplary Biblical Study.......2006-01-05

Everyone has been touched at some level by divorce, haven't they? And everyone has strong opinions about what the Bible's teaching, don't they? Over-wrought emotions and ill-formed opinions have no place in David Instone-Brewer's epic study. He offers readers a sensitive and sensible scholarly study that more than delivers on its promise to place the Bible's view of divorce and remarriage in its social and literary context.

Instone-Brewer's definitive work should serve scholars and students as a template of biblical study at its finest. Regretfully, many pursue but few attain the fluid mastery of linguistics, history, and literature (Biblical, Rabbinic, and patristic) that this author achieves. He begins with the ancient Near Eastern cultural context, and proceeds to discuss divorce and remarriage in the Pentateuch, Prophets, Inter-testamental period, Jesus, Paul, Church Fathers, Reformers, and marriage vows. His concluding pastoral advice is brief, to the point, and practical. Instone-Brewer presents alternative views before dispassionately evaluating their strengths and weaknesses. His carefully reasoned positions require consideration. Methodically he builds a compelling case that the Bible's consistent position is that divorce is an unfortunate consequence of a fallen world and is allowed for adultery, abandonment, and neglect. He develops this using a literal-grammatical-historical hermeneutic within a framework that highly regards the authority of the Bible. Each passage touching on divorce or remarriage receives an exegetical treatment that accounts for the lexical, grammatical, and historical features of the text.

Regardless of whether readers agree with Instone-Brewer, this is one of the most important and comprehensive works on divorce and remarriage to appear in print. Readers from all perspectives will be challenged by his fairness, clarity, thoughtfulness, and pastoral spirit on an issue that too often sparks censorious dogmatism that disregards the people to whom Moses, Hosea, Jeremiah, Jesus, and Paul addressed their words.

Because divorce is so prevalent, my copy is on loan. I may need a couple more copies so that I always have a copy readily available.

Finally, Instone-Brewer has a web site: www.Instone-Brewer.com. It has links to useful background material.

Clarifies some the long misunderstood teaching of Jesus about divorce.......2005-12-16

My first impression of this book was it would be written by a liberal religious scholar trying to encourage divorce, but I thought , "Eh, why not? Let's see what he has to say." So I bought the book, and I'm glad I did.

Instone-Brewer organizes his book chronologically, discussing marriage in the ancient Middle East, ancient Hebrew culture (as defined in the Torah ), the Jewish Diaspora outside of Israel, and Greco-Roman culture. He discusses the teachings of Jesus and Paul related to divorcee, some of the "fathers" of the Christian Church (and why a lot of them are wrong in regards to divorce). He closes with his own pastoral advice about divorce.

If you buy this book, you will learn about various topics in addition to the main topic. I definitely learned more about ancient Hebrew customs, marriage customs in the Middle East, and the controversy about the "any matter" divorce between different Jewish sects during Jesus' time.

Instone-Brewer's discussion of God divorcing Israel and Judah and how God's covenant with Israel was like a marriage contract in the ancient Middle East was really eye-opening and gave me a new perspective with which to view some of the prophetic books.

Extreme religious conservatives will probably not like the conclusion : that Jesus and Paul allowed for divorce on valid grounds, and discouraged it even on valid grounds. They urged the couple to repent. But if the guilty party wouldn't repent, then the innocent party has the right to divorce.

Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible--Challenging and Rewarding.......2005-09-26

Instone-Brewer begins his treatise with basic assumptions, but these are well informed assumptions. For too long Christianity has ignored the thoroughly Jewish context of Jesus and his teaching, insisting that we read the Bible through a Hellenized world view. This is patently false, and fatal to a proper understanding of the Bible. This is not only true in regard to the Marriage and Divorce issue, but the eschatology and other dogmas as well.
Instone-Brewer's book will definitely challenge your traditions, but, when read carefully and thoughfully, this book will open your eyes to a greater and more proper understanding of Divorce and Remarriage as taught by Jesus. For too long Christians have been bound by a "grace-less" and legalistic view of God's view of Divorce and Remarriage. While this book does not seek to give license, it does seek to demonstrate God's grace in Christ. Very highly recommended!

Download Description

A proper marriage is very wonderful and very beautiful, however, it is possible to stay married and be doing the "right thing" too long. God does not want us to be a "sacrificial victim" for the "sake of the marriage". As painful as this may sound when dealing with a marriage, divorcing or "making one into two" is necessary and needed to save and preserve life. God's priority is to save the people of the marriage, not necessarily the marriage itself. If God hates divorce, then he must have his approval on the marriage. If God hates the marriage, he must have his approval on the divorce. Divorce itself is not wrong, but when it's used for selfish pleasure, it is! The real question is, "which divorce does God hate?" To which divorce did God say, "I hate divorce"?

excellent book.......2007-10-01

this book was very good, full of useful information and knowledge. i would highly recommend it to anyone who is going thru divorce and anyone who thinks they know about divorce and gods true words about it. what an eye opener to what scripture really says and what we as christians have been led to believe for so long. i truly believe that every pastor should also read this book so they are preaching truth fom the pulpit instead of their thoughts and interpertations.

Garbage.......2007-08-20

While I believe that the initial inspiration of this book may have been in the right place...helping heal those who've been divorced because of the lack of grace a lot of denominations show to divorced people, I believe the author took it in an entirely wrong direction. Mr. Gola has taken God's word and twisted it to match the depravity of man's minds and ungodly actions...helping to justify them with a "God" stamp of approval. I wouldn't want to be Him when he has to answer to God about how he has unrightly divided the Word of truth. If you are a Christian looking for a reason beyond what God has outlined for a divorce, this is the place for you. But if you are a Christian looking for what God would have for you in a unhappy marriage, search the real marriage manual...The Bible. God is Huge and He is Able to to way more than we can ever imagine even in the darkest of circumstances. Mr. Gola has forgotten that God makes all things new and He can do far better than his (Gola's)prostituted word.

Divorce: God's Will? The Truth of Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible for Christians.......2007-04-01

A very good book with great understanding of divorce in God's views.If I haven't read this book I would not understand they God sometimes allows divorce to take place.It also give me a better understanding of saving a relationship then saving a marriage. Very good scriptures references on the issue of "The Truth of Divorce "Very well written Chapter on the topic on "The Right of Divorce" If I haven't read your wonderful book I will never know that sometime God allow divorce to place on certain people.I am very grateful to both of you in sending the CD and the book to me for my reading.Thank both of you and God bless you.

Cleared up condemnation.......2006-12-03

This book answered many questions. Everyone makes Divorce some BIG sin that GOD can not forgive, and that we must always fight for my marriage no matter what. Even "MARRYING OUTSIDE YOUR RACE CHAPTER." I think people need to reread that section and pray first because I totally understand the few things he was getting at, and it's not a skin color thing. Other than that he gave great insight on many different passages, especailly like , "GOD HATES DIVORCE." My own conclusion was answered in the book, cause I thought God hates all sin, and only hates divorce when it is done for the wrong reason (hard hearts.) This book actually helped me in my marriage. I love my wife, but constant verbal abuse is too much. I believe in miracles, but not every marriage will have one. God did not join together all marriages, so do not feel condemned by nobody I still read through this book after six months and I'm fighting for my marriage, but if that D-day does come I know I learned the truth that set me free! Remember that the blood of Jesus has the power to forgive and heal ALL things, even Divorce.

This book too saved my life.......2006-08-14

Many people that have not been a victim of abuse by a loved one, especially a spouse really do not understand the mental, emotional, and spiritual death that occurs when someone abuses you. Abuse is a form of control and manipulation and mind games was the real root of sin. Satan in his smooth and flattering words deceived Eve, knowing the outcome. Abusive men, well my husband, who is supposedly a Christian, used very smooth and flattering words and mannerisms, that convinced me to marry him, although logic taught me differently. I thought he was a man of God, but he used emotional/mental games and abuse, as well as physical abuse to control me. It killed my soul and brought me farther away from God. I too was contemplating many things. I wanted to kill myself because a man that I cared so much about was constantly telling me that I was the cause of his actions, but when I tried to act differently It did not work.

Needless to say, the divorce is almost final.

This book and Stephen Gola and his wife really did help me. I sent them an email because I had additional questions and they were a blessing.

Now since I have been separated for so long now I see clearly. Religion teaches us as woman to sacrifice ourselves for men---however God is our Father, and if our earthly father does not want to see his daughter abused, so does our Heavenly father too. We must realize that yes sexual immorality,adultery, which is a sin against the body, because as husband and wife we are one. However abuse, physical and emotional is also a crime to our bodies since we are the temple of God. And all crimes that are not willfully stopped need to cease.
Abuse kills the soul and decreases all forms of happiness and it creates generational curses, since female children will become more inclined to accept abuse, and male children will be more likely to become abusers themselves. Since they are only mirroring an image that they have seen.

I believe Christianity as a whole is doing us a great disfavor by not analyzing unacceptable forms of behaviors in marriage. Too often it is preached that if the woman just pray more or the husband pray more, however the Lord analyzes the heart. The Lord does not change the will of people's heart but speak to the heart that is willing to hear.

IN respect to marrying outside race....I don't agree with that portion. God did prohibit and instructed the people of Israel not to marry people from the surrounding communities because they practiced idolatry and the people of Israel if they married woman that believed in other gods, then the nation of Israel, which was to be a light unto the world, will become dark.
THis is seen time and time again in the Old testament when the people of Israel married unconverted people.

There is no such thing as an impure race. FOr we are not to call something unclean that God called clean. Whomever calls upon the name of the Lord and lives an upright life is saved, (given other factors too), then they are made clean on the account of Jesus. So race is no longer an issue. Jesus bridged the great divide. SO I differ with Gola on that issue.
Nevertheless, we must carefully look at culture when selecting a mate, because different cultures have different values, and those things will greatly affect any marriage.

Much blessings to Mr. Gola and his wife
Sincerely,
Jessica M.

Product Description

Divorce and Remarriage is Not Adultery is a biblically based look at one of the more contversial topics in many Christian bodies. This book was NOT written to encourage divorce, but rather to show that if one remarries after a lawful divorce, he has not committed adultery. Divorce itself is not a sin, but a judgment for sin. Many translations of Matt. 5:32 make Jesus appear to forbid remarriage, but we show that the text has been mistranslated and then misunderstood. Jesus did not put away the Law. Deut. 24:1-4 specifically permits divorce and remarriage.
