Description

Explore a deep historical analysis of marriage traditions in the West with this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press. For over 2,500 years, the Western tradition has viewed monogamous marriage as a fundamental institution necessary for the prosperity of individuals, families, and the state. This book examines how the West has historically approached the distinction between monogamy and polygamy. It looks at the legal and social reasons why plural marriages were often viewed as harmful to wives and children, and how these practices were seen as threats to political stability and citizenship. Author John Witte, Jr. provides a detailed documentation of how Western law and Christian thought have shaped these views. The text covers the historical denouncement of polygamous teachings across various groups, including Mormons, Anabaptists, and others. This is an essential resource for students and readers interested in the intersection of law, religion, and social history.
