Given all the recent online debates regarding divorce, I find it very telling, yet sad, that Time Magazine has picked up on the important discussion. Time entitled their recent article: An Evangelical Rethink on Divorce? <\/a><\/p>\n

I would encourage everyone to read Times article and realize what Time is trying to say about the next generation of Christians regarding all moral issues and how the Bible is ‘re-interpreted’ to fit the individuals view of what they think is just\/unjust. Unfortunately, Time hasn’t learned from all this that the Bible is suppose to shape our thinking, instead, Time’s article thinks it’s the other way around. That is the truly sad part about all this.<\/p>\n

For those of you who have not been following the debate, here is a summary list of articles and blog entries that have been made by the various participants…<\/p>\n

An article by David Instone-Brewer on divorce and remarriage at Christianity Today started the whole debate: “What God has Joined Together: What Does the Bible Really Teach about Divorce?<\/a>“\u009d This article is a summary of his book on divorce and remarriage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When the article came out, Justin Taylor<\/a> provided a summary of the article with a chart from Andreas Kostenberger’s book God, Marriage, and the Family<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since then, there has been a discussion concerning the issue of divorce and remarriage around the blog world. This is a run down of the discussion.<\/p>\n
