The church faces a dilemma. We're not sure how to connect what the Bible says with the person in front of us. Perhaps we don't want to believe that divorce exists among Christians. Or we're afraid to talk about it because we don't know what to do. The result is that we don't do much. But divorce isn't going away. Instead, divorcées are going away. They are realizing Christians are the last people they should turn to for help. You are called to be part of the solution. The Divorce Dilemma will equip you with a solid understanding of what the Bible says about divorce, stir your heart to compassion for divorced people, and provide practical ways to do something in your church community. Rev Dr Ron Misiko and Rev Dr Ray Motsi share their experiences as pastors and as married people, as well as their areas of expertise in the legal system and Bible scholarship. From their different African contexts, the authors explain how to navigate the challenges we face today. With the help of this practical handbook, you can become a champion for God's grace and truth about divorce in your community.
Autorenporträt
Rev Dr Ray Motsi is the President of the Theological College of Zimbabwe and has been a Baptist pastor for over 20 years. He has a BA in Practical Theology, an MA in Old Testament and Hebrew, and a PhD in Peacebuilding, Conflict Resolution and Trauma Healing. He founded Grace to Heal, a faith-based organization focusing on community peace-making and conflict resolution. He has been through marital difficulties and seen biblical principles transform his marriage, as well as couples he has counselled. Motsi brings Old Testament, cultural, and conflict resolution perspectives to The Divorce Dilemma. Rev Dr Ron Misiko has a growing reputation in Kenya as someone who is willing to talk about divorce and has solutions to address it. When he has shared his heart for divorce, the response has always been that this is a highly relevant topic that ministers are struggling to address. His passion for divorcées grew out of his 12 years pastoring Karura Community Chapel, a thriving church in Nairobi. For his DMin, he did multi-disciplinary research on a biblical and pastoral response to divorce for the church in Kenya. As an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya trained in mediation, Dr Misiko also shares insights from his legal expertise in The Divorce Dilemma .
