Reviews

The lesson around the little children and the kingdom of God resonated with me most from this reading. I will be honest that the reading around divorce was harder for me to embrace and that I don't share the view of the plain text. But I heard sermon years ago about this same lesson around divorce and through it I learned the context of society during that biblical time and how divorce often meant abandonment, particularly leaving women destitute. So, hearing this reading again affirms that it is so important to understand the context of the times when interpreting the lessons from the Bible.
