Overview

Divorce is too common in our culture and church. For too long we have not been taking divorce seriously enough. For too long we have lacked principles for guidance. For too long we have dealt with divorce individualistically, when we should have involved the community of the church. This book from Rev. Dr. Benjamin Mayes aims to change all of this. It gives pastors and church leaders the knowledge and confidence to deal with the difficult situations that arise, in accordance with God's Word, for the purpose of leading people to repentance, faith, and salvation. This book does this first through in-depth exegetical study, with frequent use of the wisdom of the Lutheran Reformation and post-Reformation periods, then develops an argument for formal ecclesiastical discernment and pastoral care in cases of divorce and remarriage. Rev. Dr. Mayes then discusses implementation and procedures, followed by case studies which show how the priciples artiuclated previously apply to many situations.
