Chapter XVII: Appendix: III

THE DUTY OF THE CHURCH IN REGARD TO DIVORCE

ABOVE, in the text of the exposition, it has been maintained (1) that Christ, by a distinct act of legislation, prohibited divorce among His disciples in such sense as allows of remarriage, except in the case of the adultery of one of the parties, in which case He did not prohibit it; but (2) that the Church law and tradition in England, as in the whole Western Church, maintains the absolute indissolubility of the marriage tie. Both propositions, however, are denied, and it is necessary to make some remarks upon the respective denials.

1. The present tendency of those who deny that Christ’s words, as repeated on two occasions in St. Matthew’s Gospel, allow the remarriage of the innocent party after divorce for adultery is――abandoning with good cause the older arguments (1) that πορνεία only applies to prenuptial sin: (2) that the words as quoted in St. Matthew were only intended to apply to the Jews――to lay stress upon the uncertainty of the text in St. Matt. xix where the words occur “and shall marry another.” To this it may be replied (i) that it is strange to find people not generally recognized as very advanced textual critics going, in this single case, further than even Dr. Hort ventured to go, in maintaining the textual authority of the Vatican manuscript, which alone among the great uncials omits the clause; (ii) that it would appear sufficiently obvious that the variation of the text in this passage is due to assimilation to the similar passage in chapter v; (iii) that it is not time to deprive people of the right to appeal to an accepted text until some trustworthy editors have been found to venture to remove it from its place; (iv) that the sense remains the same in any case. For the text, as given in chapter v, or in chapter xix with the words “and shall marry another” omitted, yet carries the liberty to do so, see text given above, pp. 72, 73. Divorce, as understood by the Jews, meant divorce _a vinculo_, i.e. divorce with liberty of remarriage. Is any sane man prepared to say that divorce, in the sense of separation of a wife from bed and board, without liberty of remarriage, is only permissible to a Christian when the wife has been adulterous?

I do not think then that the obvious force of the passages in St. Matthew can be dissolved.

2. On the other hand, admitting all that can be said as to the difficulty, which is due to the historical relation of Church and State in England, of saying what is Church law pure and simple, it does seem to me that the Western law of divorce, as distinct from the Eastern, was accepted by the English Church and not only never repudiated, but at least assumed to be permanent in the Post-Reformation Canons. What has happened since then is (1) that the opinion of a great number of the best English divines and commentators on St. Matthew has been expressed in favour of allowing the remarriage of the “innocent party” after a divorce for adultery; (2) that the Lambeth Conference of 1888 allowed such remarriage; (3) that statute law in England has recently allowed the remarriage of both innocent and guilty party.

But the Lambeth Conference only expresses the opinion (however weighty) of a gathering of Anglican bishops. It cannot legislate for the Church of England. And the legislation which has taken place is purely civil legislation made from a civil point of view and going beyond what the Lambeth Conference would allow. And on such a matter as marriage which lies at the heart of our religious life it seems quite unreasonable to ask Christian people to accept this, as authority sufficient to upset an ancient practice of the Church.

Granted then (1) that Christ did not prohibit[95] the remarriage of an innocent party after a divorce for adultery, (2) that the unaltered Church law of England does prohibit it, it seems to me that the best course is _not_, at least in the present state of Church feeling, to alter the Church law on the matter, up to the point which Christ allows, by getting leave for Convocation to make a new Canon――though this would be a course to which no one could take just exception――but to retain and observe the Church law, allowing no remarriage with the rites of the Church, but simply leaving it to bishops to act on the decision of the Lambeth Conference as far as admission to communion is concerned.

This refusal to allow remarriage in churches may involve some collision with statute law till an equitable concession to our principles is accorded. But the difficulty is not greater than has been overcome by a little resolution in the case of the Public Worship Regulation Act. If in the process of the controversy the institution of compulsory civil marriage here in England, with the same publicity as in most foreign countries, to be followed by a voluntary religious ceremony, becomes a more likely event, there would be a good many Churchmen who would not regret it.

As regards the allowance of remarriage to the innocent party after a divorce for adultery, it is sometimes pointed out that it is only explicitly allowed by our Lord to the innocent _husband_. But it is, I submit, at least competent to the Church to interpret this in the more lenient sense as extending to the aggrieved wife also. It is more often urged that it is illogical to forbid to the guilty party what is allowed to the innocent――that if declared adultery dissolves the marriage tie for either, it does so for both. To this I should only reply that our Lord appears on the matter to be _legislating_ rather than laying down a principle. His legislation covers the one exception but not (with any degree of clearness) the other. He appears to be sanctioning in the case of an innocent and deeply aggrieved person a dispensation which violates the logic of the marriage tie on grounds of equity: but this carries with it no necessary consequence of a similar dispensation in favour of the chief offender.

By A. C. HEADLAM, D.D.
_Formerly Principal of King’s College, London_

Large Crown 8vo. 6s. net.

“... The subject is one that suits Dr. Headlam and enables him
to produce one of his best pieces of work.... Dr. Headlam is on
his own ground, and his treatment appears to great advantage,
when he comes to deal with the authenticity and trustworthiness
of the New Testament documents. No better or fairer statement of
the present position of the criticism of the Synoptists could be
desired than that which is given in his fourth lecture.... the
lecture on the Virgin Birth is a model of restraint and good
judgment.”――_The Times._

Roman Catholic claims are as insistent as ever, and the

great work, of which a cheap edition is now published for the

THE MIND OF CHRIST. Demy 8vo, 6s. net.

The principle which has governed the present selection of
brief and simple addresses, given at various times in the
Temple Church, is the hope of illustrating, from one side
or another, the supreme need of a deeper realisation by
the Church of what her Founder taught and was, and a more
successful effort to apply His teaching and assimilate His
character.

PROGRESSIVE REVELATION. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d. net.

These lectures, addressed originally to clergy, and
dealing first with the Bible and then with some of the great

progressive character of the Christian Church, with special
reference to present-day subjects such as those of Modernism
and Prayer-book revision.

value and importance in striking language and a spirit of
conspicuous earnestness and devotion.”――_Church Quarterly

The purpose of this book is to examine the writings of

“A Call to Seamen” is the first collection of addresses

non-sentimental, and is suitable for boys aged eleven to
sixteen.

This book embodies the results of wide travel in

Chinese Buddhist literature. It contains historical and
topographical accounts of some of the most famous religious
centres in the empire. The author has lived as a guest in
many of the monasteries and hermitages described, and has
made himself intimately acquainted with their legendary
and romantic as well as their religious and historical
associations. He deals with the religious problems arising
from the new political and social conditions and prospects
brought about by the Revolution, and the book is therefore
of special value to all who take an interest in the
religious future of the Chinese people.

points the history of Christianity in general, of Christian

the expert or the curious; it will profoundly interest
every reader who patiently works in its vast storehouse

“It is extremely difficult to take a detached view of this
remarkable book. Criticism seems wholly out of place. It
does not apply to realities. One would as soon think of
criticising a beautiful view, a spring morning, an autumn
sunset――anything that absolutely enters into and becomes
part of oneself, part of one’s highest self. That is what
happens to the reader of these pages.”――_Evening Standard._

MURRAY’S ILLUSTRATED BIBLE DICTIONARY.

Combining Modern Research with Ancient Faith. Editor: The

In One Volume. Price 21s. Half-morocco, 25s.

=SPECIAL FEATURES=

=1. A Volume of 1,000 pages.=

=2. Profusely Illustrated, with Original Sketches,
Reproductions from Photographs, Diagrams, and Coloured
Maps.=

=3. Special attention has been paid to Bibliography, which
has not before been attempted in a similar work of this
size.=

=4. Signed Articles by Leading Scholars and Experts.=

The size and price of this Dictionary make it available for
many who cannot afford those published in several volumes,
or who wish for a more handy book of reference; while the
addition of Bibliographies to all important articles enables
those who desire to do so to pursue any subject further;
and the present volume should be found especially useful
to students at the Universities, Theological Colleges and
Schools, the busy parochial clergy, and the laity.

Special attention has been paid to the illustrations, which
it is hoped are such as will prove a really valuable aid to
the understanding of the Bible.

HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, in a letter to
Mr. Murray, says:――“In my movements backwards and forwards
between Lambeth and Canterbury, I almost fear that I
may never have thanked you for sending me a copy of your
one-volume Dictionary of Christian Biography. If I have
already written, pardon this further letter. But I should
like to tell you how greatly I value the book. I have been
using it for some of my work, and am immensely struck by
the way in which it seems to have been found possible to
bring into this smaller compass practically everything of
real importance to the general reader. I am certain that
the editors and yourself have done a great public service
in placing this book upon our shelves.”

“The present book does, indeed, support the high opinion
expressed by Dr. Mason in his preface of the spirit of
scientific detachment, warmth of heart, and unfailing good
humour displayed by Danish students in their theological and
historical studies.”――_Church Times._

“Roman Catholic readers will find nothing in the tone of
these volumes to shock them.... Works like these are bound

OESTERLEY, the Rev. W. O. E., D.D.,
_Jesus College, Cambridge_.

THE DOCTRINE OF THE LAST THINGS—JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN. Crown
8vo, 3s. 6d.net.

What correspondents to the _Guardian_ say:――

“If a book is wanted which is at once cheap, clear,
learned, and up-to-date, ‘The Doctrine of the Last
Things’ may be strongly recommended. In it the reader will
find the Old Testament, the Apocalyptic literature, the
Rabbinical writings, and the New Testament most carefully
analysed and the results presented in a simple form. In it
there is ample material for many courses of Advent sermons
on modern but reverent lines.”

“Will you allow me to make use of your columns to commend
to my brethren, as an invaluable help in their Advent
preaching, Dr. Oesterley’s book? It is popular and
lucid in style, scholarly in matter, and illuminating in
instruction.... I do not myself know of any other book
covering quite the same ground or so immediately helpful
to the preacher in Advent.”

LIFE, DEATH, AND IMMORTALITY. Studies in the Psalms. Crown 8vo,
3s. 6d. net.

“Dr. Oesterley traces with great clearness of definition and
logical analysis the development and varying significance
of these doctrines as they appear in the Psalms, reaching in
the case of the Future Life an ultimate development far in
advance of the rest of the Old Testament.”――_The Times._

THE CANON LAW IN MEDIÆVAL ENGLAND. An Examination of William
Lyndwood’s “Provinciale,” in reply to the late Professor
F. W. Maitland. Large Crown 8vo, 6s. net.

This book goes to the heart of a subject which is of
intimate concern to every Churchman. It is a piece of
constructive criticism and investigation dealing with the
relations between the Church and Realm of England and the
Mediæval Papacy as expressed in terms of law. It is the
first attempt to deal critically with the late Professor
Maitland’s famous treatise on “Roman Canon Law in the Church
of England.”

JOHN HUNGERFORD POLLEN, 1820‒1902. By ANNE POLLEN. With
Illustrations. Demy 8vo, 15s. net.

“This Life of John Hungerford Pollen will revive and keep
in memory the name of a very able and attractive man, whose
varied activities in the worlds of religion, politics, and
art ended about ten years ago. It is not surprising that his
family and friends should have wished for such a memorial,
and his daughter’s work, a labour of love, undertaken in
a spirit of most loyal affection, has been carried out
with marked literary skill. Several excellent portraits,
well reproduced, do justice to Mr. Pollen’s fine features
with their expression of mingled earnestness and sweetness,
and the charming decorative work of his later years is
illustrated by plates, some in colour, and working drawings,
which should interest every student of architecture and its
companion arts.”――_Spectator._

“... We hope it may be read very widely.... The charge
is written not only, as we need hardly say, with the
utmost reverence, but with admirable lucidity, and with a
persuasiveness too often lacking in the advocates of the
higher criticism.”――_Spectator._

“It fully carries out the promises of the description. As
a useful guide for the traveller we have met with no more
suitable book; while for the student unable to visit the
actual buildings, the description leaves nothing to be
desired.”――_Outlook._

“The impression of the continuous influence exercised by
‘The Psalms in Human Life’ is without doubt very striking.
But it is very difficult to give within the compass of a
review any notion of this effect.”――_Spectator._
