The passage of Mark 10:2-16 has greatly impacted Susan Cameron’s growth and thinking about what God is trying to say to us through the Bible — particularly because of its abuse and misuse.

Studying family systems in seminary at the time she was practicing family law brought light to Susan’s view of what Jesus was saying in this passage. Rather than words of bondage, these were revealed as words of liberation. Jesus’ words about adultery were shocking in his day because they included rights for a woman impacted by adultery, rather than just men or husbands — implying mutuality and equality in marital relationships.
