Divorce & Remarriage (with Andy Naselli)

Kirk E. Miller

Jesus taught that divorce “from the beginning … was not so” and that those who divorce commit adultery. Yet he also added, “except for sexual immorality” (Mt 5:31-32; 19:3-9). And Paul says believers are “not bound” if their unbelieving spouse leaves them (1 Cor 7:15). These texts are source of much debate. And yet their implications are extremely pressing and practical for many. What does the Bible have to say about divorce, and if divorce any possibility of remarriage thereafter? New Testament scholar Andy Naselli joins Kirk to discuss these matters.

And what is its significance redemptive-historically, particularly as it finds expression at Pentecost (Acts 2)?
