Abstract

Polygamy, which may be defined as "the union for life of a man with two or more women,” has always been a problem for Christians, since it apparently js in contradiction to the Biblical concept of marriage. Was God's original plan for His people a marriage union of one male and one female as we hold today, or are we to follow the examples of polygamy which we find in the Old Testament?
