Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: Well, I cannot take complete credit for it. Some of my favorite teachers have written at length about God's covenantal and redemptive model in the family. There is, in fact, a whole chapter on polygamy itself in Douglas Wilson's book, _Fidelity: What it Means to be a One-Woman Man_. I recommend that book to all the Christian men on this forum. It pulls no punches in convicting us with respect to our duties to be faithful single men and husbands. --Joe! |
