Weekly Bible Study Divorce & Remarriage Part V

This week we will review God's most direct statement regarding divorce in Malachi 2:14-16. We'll then examine the mass divorce and disinheritance event recorded in Ezra and answer some key questions:

1. Was the command to divorce the pagan wives from God?
2. Was the event carried out "according to the Law?"
3. Should Ezra 10 inform the doctrine of "biblical grounds for divorce?"

We'll discuss the chronological order of Esther, Nehemiah & Ezra, referring to the original languages in questions of biblical translations, and examine Joseph's contemplation of divorcing Mary, his betrothed when she was found to be with child.
