-Historical church views of divorce.
-Old Covenant reasons for which divorce was allowed.
-A brief look at what unfaithfulness in marriage entailed.

The 2nd portion contains:

-Jewish history and some funny news stories.
-A brief glimpse into Biblical terminology surrounding divorce.
-A look at ancient Near East laws about divorce and widowhood.
-Examination of societal impacts of divorce.
-And overall preps us to move into an examination of New Covenant writings with a better understanding of cultural and Biblical context.
