The Case Against Divorce: What Jesus Actually Taught About Marriage, Divorce, and Covenant

The Case Against Divorce
What Jesus Actually Taught About Marriage, Divorce, and Covenant

Divorce has become common in modern culture—even among those who claim to follow Jesus Christ.

But what did Jesus actually teach about marriage and divorce?

In The Case Against Divorce, Joe Soares presents the issue through the framework of a courtroom trial. The evidence is drawn directly from Scripture. The testimony of Jesus Christ is examined carefully. And the arguments commonly used to justify divorce are placed under cross-examination.

This book does not rely on modern opinions, cultural trends, or personal reasoning. Instead, it returns to the authority of the Word of God.

Inside this book you will discover:

• What the Bible actually says about the marriage covenant
• Why Jesus pointed back to creation when discussing divorce
• The difference between covenant and contract in marriage
• The most common excuses used to justify divorce—and what Scripture says about them
• Why repentance, mercy, and obedience are central to the teachings of Christ

As the case unfolds, readers are invited to examine the evidence for themselves.

Marriage was never designed to be temporary.
The covenant of God was never meant to be broken.
And the words of Jesus have never changed.

This is not a book about condemning people.

It is a call to return to the truth of Scripture.

Because one day every life will stand before the Judge of all the earth—and the final authority will not be culture, opinion, or personal interpretation.

It will be the Word of God.

The court of the Most High is now in session.
The evidence will be heard.
The verdict belongs to God.
