Abstract
In this article Gordon Dunstan (1917–2004) examines the ‘difficult text’ 1 Corinthians 6.16 in the light of Christian marriage – arguing that sexual intercourse with a sex worker, while wrong, does not constitute a man and woman becoming ‘one flesh’ and therefore debar that person from a subsequent marriage. Dunstan succeeded Alec Vidler as editor of Theology two years after writing this short article. At the time he was working at Church House, Westminster, as the influential (especially on divorce reform) secretary of the Church of England Council for Social Work. Two years later he was appointed as the first holder of the F. D. Maurice Chair of Moral and Social Theology at King’s College London, finally retiring to Exeter in 1982. Editor.
