Not Under Bondage: Biblical Divorce for Abuse, Adultery and Desertion

The 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 abuse, or face condemnation by God and his church 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 – shows how the bible sets victims of abuse free from bondage and guilt.
