Bible Note: Tim, I quoted that statement directly from the electronic version of that commentary that I have on a CD-ROM (which cannot be altered), which was purchased at a local computer store quite recently. It is from the "Bible Wisdom" series called "Theophilos Library 3" 4 CD set. The technical support address given on the CD's is www.theophilos.sk. Now, either your copy of that commentary is corrupted, or this CD copy of their work is corrupted.....or....there is another possibility that comes to mind. It is possible that our copies are from a different revision (printing). Authors are known to make various revisions to their work in subsequent printings. I really do not know for sure, but the copy I have makes the case that the "husband of one wife" is NOT in reference to a plurality of wives. Thanks, Tim. In Christ Jesus Don |
