Challenging scholarly consensus, Das argues that early Christians did not approve of remarriage after divorce. His argument-covering contemporary Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts, the Gospels, Paul's letters, and ante-Nicene interpretation-reveals greater consistency in early Christianity than is often assumed. Das pays special attention to the Greek words used in contemporary bills of divorce and in the New Testament, offering much-needed clarity on hotly contested concepts like porneia. At once sensitive and objective, Das finds an exegetically sound answer to the question of remarriage among early Christians.
