Summary

In this podcast episode, we read Genesis 20:14-18 from the Common English Bible. In this story, God confronts Abimelech for adding another man's wife to his harem. We also read additional Old and New Testament passages that address the issues of infidelity and polygamy. Patriarchal theology has distorted the meaning of all of these passages in a way that is detrimental to women. When read in context and in their oldest available languages, however, each of these passages is a warning against sinful behavior being committed by men.
