54 min - Does Paul Forbid Christians to Divorce? (1 Cor 7:10–11)
One of the mistakes we make when reading the Bible is to say, “the Bible clearly says…” But this can be problematic, even destructive when applied to more serious instructions in scripture. In this episode, we look at one of the more difficult texts in the NT.

About The New Testament Story
From the publisher's feed
One of my greatest joys in life is teaching the bible in a way that makes it real to people. There’s no greater thrill for me than seeing a person have that “aha!” moment, when something in Scripture suddenly makes sense. Even after years of teaching, I never get tired of students telling me that something I said made the bible come to life for them. That is my hope for this channel.
I have been a student and a lecturer of New Testament since 2005. I began my studies at what was then called Southern Cross College (now called Alphacrucis University College) in Sydney, Australia. I then went on to do a PhD at Macquarie University, also in Sydney. After completing my doctorate in 2012, I became a full-time lecturer at Alphacrucis, where I have taught ever since.
Apart from my teaching, I have written numerous academic articles and books. I also present papers regularly at international conferences around the world. You can see all of these at my Academia.com page. You can also email me or check out my other stuff on my socials.
