Could the sacred bond of marriage, once thought indissoluble, stand in the dock of Scripture and be tried anew? In The Doctrine & Discipline Of Divorce, John Milton mounts a fearless case that Christian liberty and marital justice require a radical rethinking of the Christian doctrine of divorce. This is dangerous, incendiary theology. Written as an early modern religious pamphlet in the heat of seventeenth century England religion and the English civil war era, it challenges the bondage of canon law and scripture as narrowly interpreted, arguing that the law and gospel permit release from destructive unions for the good of both sexes. Blending close biblical exegesis with sharp polemic, Milton unfolds Puritan views on marriage, companionship, and conscience in a seventeenth century theological treatise that still unsettles and illuminates. More than a historical curiosity, this classic Christian theology text speaks to ongoing debates about church authority, individual conscience, and the meaning of covenant. It remains a key John Milton divorce treatise for theology students and scholars, a stimulating choice for a church history course text or seminary course textbook, and a compelling read for anyone interested in how doctrine takes shape amid political and personal crisis. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
