As the subject gains attention both in the culture and in religious discussion, \u003cb\u003eThe Biblical Case for Polygamy\u003c\/b\u003e asks whether the common Christian rejection of it is truly based on Scripture or on inherited Catholic tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor generations, Christians have been taught that monogamy is the only biblical model for marriage. That belief is usually presented as settled truth. But when the text itself is examined closely, the case is not nearly as simple as many have been led to believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book takes readers into one of the most controversial and least honestly examined subjects in biblical discussion. Focusing specifically on \u003cb\u003epolygyny\u003c\/b\u003e, one man with multiple wives, it explores whether Scripture actually condemns the practice, or whether later religious tradition has spoken more loudly than the Bible itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside this book, you will examine: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe historical and cultural world in which the Bible was written\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe marriages of Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon, and over 32 other biblical figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMosaic laws that regulate households involving more than one wife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe difference between what Scripture records, permits, regulates, and forbids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003erebuttal to the arguments commonly used against polygyny in modern Christian teaching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Testament passages often cited against plural marriage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhether the rejection of polygyny is truly biblical, or largely traditional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a shallow defense of lust, nor is it an attempt to stir controversy for its own sake. It is a serious challenge to a deeply protected assumption. Rather than leaning on slogans, emotional reactions, or church tradition, \u003cb\u003eThe Biblical Case for Polygamy\u003c\/b\u003e goes back to the text and asks readers to deal honestly with what is actually there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a direct and thought-provoking study that will challenge both critics and supporters of polygyny. Whether you agree with its conclusions or not, this book will force you to confront an uncomfortable question: has the church condemned something that the Bible itself never clearly condemns?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are willing to question inherited assumptions, examine Scripture in context, and follow the evidence where it leads, \u003cb\u003eThe Biblical Case for Polygamy\u003c\/b\u003e will give you a perspective most readers have never been allowed to consider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maurice Nelson,Glenn Braunstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798368382425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.42d","brand":"Maurice Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437439889663,"sku":"9798368382425","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91e9d9ed-ce60-4140-b9df-c34d28a311f4.jpg?v=1777161825","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-biblical-case-for-polygamy-maurice-nelson-9798368382425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
