Episode 100: Is Polygamy Biblical Pt 1:The Issues Presented

from About This Love

When you read through the Old Testament, one pattern quickly becomes hard to ignore: many of the most prominent figures in Scripture—from Abraham and Jacob to David and Solomon—had multiple wives. But does the presence of polygamy in the biblical narrative equal divine approval, or is there a crucial difference between what the Bible records and what it prescribes? In Part 1 of this series, we dive deep into the initial issues and theological tensions surrounding polygamy in the Scriptures. We examine the foundational text of Genesis, track the immediate fallout of polygamous relationships in biblical history, and lay the groundwork to answer a question that continues to provoke debate. Join us as we strip away modern assumptions and look closely at what the text actually says. 🔥 To listen to our latest podcast episode or to read our blogs: YouTube: https://rb.gy/2lft30 https://lnk.bio/AboutThisLove https://rss.com/podcasts/about-this-love/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ma.maven?lang=en 👍 Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, & SUBSCRIBE if this week's episode has been a blessing to you!
