A Christian Defense Of Polygamy Through The Centuries

Households that include more than one wife have existed since the beginning of mankind, and until the rise of the Greco-Roman empire and the subsequent Catholic Church, nobody, not even Christians, questioned the legitimacy or normalcy of having more than one wife in a family. Despite the overwhelming presence of what we call 'polygamy' in the Bible and God’s direct endorsement of it, European Christians have argued the validity of this family structure for centuries. However, there have been well-known Christians throughout the centuries who have defended the Biblical nature of having more than one wife in a family.​This book is a compilation of the four most impactful and Biblical works on the subject throughout the last 5 centuries of Christian history. My hope is that it will serve as a helpful historical resource for those wishing to explore polygamy from a Biblical standpoint.The authors of these compiled works, as well as the publisher of this volume, present their material from a Biblical Christian worldview, with no influence from the Mormon cult whatsoever.
