Ebook The Teaching of the New Testament on Divorce

I AM publishing this little book on the Teaching of the New Testament on Divorce to meet a long-felt want. A philological study of the passages bearing on this subject in the New Testament, combined with a study of the religious and theological ideas of that period, convinced me that no interpretation yet offered, however right it might be as to its conclusions, had done justice to these fundamental factors of the problem. Though I began the study purely to satisfy a natural interest in a living problem of today, I found that the more I studied it the less able was I to relinquish it, though I pursued the study with much reluctance owing to the pressure of other claims on my time. The immediate occasion of my study.
