Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical contexts of slavery and polygamy, arguing they are ancient institutions approved by God, which were accepted by many honorable characters in Biblical times despite their flaws. The author, a theologian, traces the evolution of both practices through time and examines how they were addressed in the Old and New Testaments. The text asserts that while both practices are sanctioned in the Bible, they contain inherent evils that Christianity can help alleviate. Through this lens, the author suggests that both polygamy and slavery may one day be abolished through the gradual spread of Christian principlesâ"a notion supported by the author's belief that slavery was prevalent in the Bible to elevate marginalized groups from paganism toward a more Christian lifestyle. Ultimately, this book offers a unique perspective on the historical and religious context of polygamy and slavery, arguing that while both practices have strong biblical roots, Christianity can help eradicate their associated evils.
