Jeremy Collingwood, " "Divorce and Remarriage," Anvil 3.1 (1986): 66-75. The author here takes up the assertion made by W. Heth and G. J. Wenham that "It is clear that Jesus said that a man may have one wife or no wife, and if someone puts away their partners for whatever reason, they must remain single." Collingwood concluds, "I hope to have demonstrated that absolute indissolubility cannot be supported either from the Scriptures, the Early Fathers, or the Reformers. Similarly the Early Church Fathers are by no means united in absolutely prohibiting remarriage after divorce. This is not to advocate easy divorce."" Pdf N 5-6 (Open on Phone)
