A propos de cet article

Paperback. Somewhere, right now, a woman is lying awake beside a marriage that has already broken her - not through adultery, not through desertion, but through years of neglect no one in her church seems to have a category for. She's been told she has no biblical grounds to leave. She's been told that if she does, she may never remarry.She is not alone. And she may be asking a truer question than the one she's been given answers to.For most of the evangelical church, divorce and remarriage come down to two positions: adultery, or desertion by an unbeliever. Nothing else counts. But that reading was never built by asking what a first-century audience already understood a marriage covenant to include. It was built from English translations, centuries removed from the room where Jesus and Paul were actually speaking - and to that original audience, "marriage" meant far more than sexual exclusivity alone.Heavy Burdens walks readers through: What ancient marriage contracts - from Egypt's Elephantine papyri to Mesopotamia's Code of Hammurabi - actually required of husbands and wivesThe real rabbinic debate standing behind Jesus's words in Matthew 19, and why his famous "exception clause" was never meant as an exhaustive listWhy Paul's counsel in 1 Corinthians 7 was answering Roman legal pressure to remarry quickly - not commanding lifelong singlenessWhat Malachi 2 actually condemns, and why it isn't what you've been toldPractical guidance for what to say when someone quotes these verses at you - and how to live afterward without a permanent cloud over your lifeWritten by a man who lived through two divorces, years of sincere but misguided judgment from people who loved him, and a hard-won peace on the other side of it, this book is not a license to walk away from a marriage that's simply hard. Real covenants deserve real endurance. But for those whose covenant was already broken - through abandonment, abuse, or neglect long before any paperwork made it official - this book offers something the modern church has too often withheld: an honest, historically grounded case for grace.You are not a misfit in God's sight. This book will help you understand why. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
