- "In this work an attempt is made to survey comprehensively the teaching and practice of the Church of England from the Reformation to the present day in respect of divorce and remarriage. Two main views are traced through the period: one derives from the pre-Reformation Western tradition, according to which marriage, once validly contracted, is indissoluble; the other derives from the teaching of the Continental Reformers, who regarded the marriage-bond as capable of dissolution by unfaithfulness or desertion (p. vii)". "[T]he present work in its original form was a thesis which gained in 1953 the award of the Doctorate of Philosophy in the University of London" (pp. viii-ix). -- Preface.
