Summary
The New Testament's prohibition of divorce reflects the symbolic role of marriage as representing God's covenant with His people. Klaus Neumann examines adultery and divorce in the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint, and the New Testament, highlighting the linguistic challenges in translating adultery as unfaithfulness and its impact on views of marriage and fidelity.
