Paul’s Permissive Halakhah: Intermarriage, Children, and the Boundaries of Early Christian Identity in 1 Corinthians

Nov 01, 2025
The Expository Times
Jordan Lavender

This paper examines Paul’s counsel on intermarriage in 1 Corinthians 7:11-16 from a Second Temple halakhic perspective, arguing that Paul views marriage of a non-believer to a believer as a unique form of initiation into the messianic community, alongside immersion in water. Paul adapted Jesus’ teaching on divorce to a new context in which there were cases of intermarriage between believers and non-believers and used that social reality to bind the community together. In this context, Paul upheld Jesus’ overall prohibition of divorce but allowed for separation in cases of intermarriage but also declared that children from mixed marriages were also considered holy and part of the community, likely indicating his desire to keep even these marriages together. This leniency underscores Paul’s pastoral sensitivity to the social complexities of early Christian communities, aiming to foster unity and inclusion. Such an approach aligns with the ad hoc nature of Gentile affiliation seen in Second Temple synagogues.

Learning with Jesus in Mark’s Gospel

Sep 01, 2025
The Expository Times
David J Bryan

Mark’s Gospel insists that the ‘Way of Jesus’ is the ‘Way of Discipleship’. As a ‘macrologia’ in which the dominant genre is the βίος genre, Mark promotes the μίμησής / imitatio of Jesus, the primary character. However, Mark is more than biography, and Adams is right that imitating Jesus is a tall order because in the end he is the Son of God. Even so, Mark presents a Christ who blurs the categories of divine and human. He does not hide the vulnerabilities of Jesus and he often portrays him responding to interruptions and unexpected events along his journey. As such his Jesus is both a Teacher and a Learner.
