Book Summary
Having been taught the strict Traditional View, the author studied the Scripture and concluded that this view is lacking both biblically and in practiceâ€"as are the Traditional Dissolution-Divorce, the Betrothal, and the Consanguinity views. Studying all the pertinent passages, the author adopted what he calls the More Liberal Dissolution-Divorce View. The two testaments teach the same view on divorce and remarriage with one exception. The New Testament passages of Jesus and the Apostle Paul are interpreted in harmony with Greek grammar and the meaning of words. The author concluded that the divorce teaching of Scripture is addressed only to believers, and that it is time to stop the hypocrisy (fostered by the other views) of professing a certain belief but not daring to implement that belief in practice. The author knows of no study in print that reaches these important conclusions.
Author Profile
Upon graduating from high school in 1948, the author signed a bonus contract with the then–New York Giants. In his third year, he led the league in wins and was to report to a Triple A team the following spring. Near the end of the season, a Baptist pastor invited the team to attend his church. Those who attended were presented with the New Testament. Upon reading the Bible for the first time, the author was led (by the Holy Spirit, he later learned) to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and felt called into the Gospel ministry. He graduated from Bible school in 1956. Married to Barbara Ann Gephart, they now have five children and thirteen grandchildren. After forty-four years in the pastorate, he finally retired in 2001. Over the years, he has written numerous Bible studies in addition to this divorce study. At present, Dale and Barbara enjoy traveling and he also enjoys playing tennis.
