A Biblical Look At Divorce And Remarriage

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 10, 2001

This is a study of what the Scriptures teach on the subject of divorce and remarriage. The Church has failed to up-hold God’s design for marriage and has misled many by teaching the permission of divorce and remarriage under the New Covenant.
