Misquoting Jesus

My master piece is done!! Finished!! Complete!! It is my final paper for "Interpreting the New Testament" class. I uploaded to my personal open source. Check it out. I took a not so conservative view for once in my life on a passage in the New Testament I am arguing was a well know passage for scribal alterations.

The Main Idea: Jesus did not permit divorce on any grounds (not even fornication), but commends permanence in marriage. Jesus' message on marriage was permanence, just God instituted in the Garden of Eden when He created man and woman. Jesus reestablished the standards God set in the Garden, by reinterpreting Moses divorce concession with God's original standards for marriage.

The paper took me three months to write, it should only take you 30 minutes. Let me know what you like or hate!!!
