Description

Explore the long-standing Western tradition of monogamous marriage in this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press. For over 2,500 years, the West has viewed monogamy as a foundation for the flourishing of families, society, and the state. John Witte, Jr. provides a detailed examination of how plural marriages have been treated throughout history. The text documents why polygamy has been viewed as a threat to political stability and citizenship. It examines the legal and religious reasons behind the rejection of polygamous teachings from various groups, including certain Jewish, Muslim, Anabaptist, and Mormon traditions. This book offers a deep look at the intersection of law and Christianity in shaping Western social institutions.
