ONE FLESH: Divorce, Remarriage, and the Healing Community is a comprehensive study of marriage, divorce, and remarriage, bringing together biblical exegesis, theological history, comparative position analysis, sociological research, psychological understanding, cross-cultural intelligence, and a complete operational pastoral care model into a single, integrated resource. The book is designed for pastors, counselors, and church leaders who need both the theological depth to engage difficult questions honestly and the practical tools to serve the people in their congregations and practices whose marriages have broken down. It takes seriously the high theology of marriage in the Christian tradition while refusing to turn that theology against the vulnerable people it should protect. It is not a brief for a single theological position but a guide for forming the pastoral and clinical judgment that can hold the high standard and the pastoral accompaniment together - in the particular situations, with the specific people, where the abstract becomes concrete and the theological must become pastoral.
