Did God Divorce Israel? A Biblical Examination of Remarriage Theology

Send us Fan Mail

What if the gospel wasn't about something new, but about restoring something ancient? In this teaching, Dr. R. L. Solberg carefully examines the claims of Divorce & Remarriage Theology by testing them against Scripture. 

Does the Bible really teach that God married Israel at Sinai, divorced His bride, died to overcome a legal dilemma, and then remarried Israel? Or has an extra-biblical framework been imposed on the biblical text? Join us as we examine the evidence and ask one simple diagnostic question: Did the biblical authors actually teach this?
