In addition, Wenham brings in insights from ancient Near Eastern marriage laws, the Old Testament, the writings of Paul, and the earliest Christian interpreters of the Gospel divorce texts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders will be challenged by a careful biblical argument that provides a counterpoint to the majority view.
