There is
hardly a
Christian
family
that
directly
or
indirectly
has not
known
the pain
of
divorce.
An
important
factor
contributing
to the
alarming
escalation
of
divorce
among
Christians
is the
growing
acceptance
of the
societal
view of
marriage
as a
social
contract
governed
by the
laws of
the land
rather
than as
a sacred
covenant
regulated
by the
higher
moral
law of
God.
In
The
Marriage
Covenant
Dr.
Samuele
Bacchiocchi
challenges
Christians
to
reject
the
secularization
and
easy-dissolution
of
marriage
by
accepting
instead
the
Biblical
view of
marriage
as a
sacred,
life-long
covenant.
This
important
book is
designed
to
strengthen
your
Christian
home
through
a
recovery
of those
Biblical
principles
established
by God
to
ensure
happy
and
lasting
marital
relationships.
Some of
the
significant
questions
examined
in the
book
are:
What
guidance
does the
Bible
offer on
how to
build up
a strong
marriage
covenant
relationship?
What is
the
Biblical
role of
the
husband
and the
wife?
Does the
Bible
view the
function
of sex
as
exclusively
procreational
or also
as
relational?
Are
there
Biblical
grounds
for
divorce
and
remarriage?
Is a
Christian
who
remarries
guilty
of
continuous
adultery?
Should a
minister
marry
divorced
people
and
should
remarried
people
be
accepted
automatically
into
church
membership?
These
are some
of the
questions
examined
with
sound
Biblical
scholarship
and in a
style
that
most
people
can
understand. |
