22 Aug What Does the Bible Say About Polygamy?
Each week, Pastor Mark addresses one of the questions sent in from the readers of the Mark Driscoll Ministries newsletter. Thanks to all who continue to send in their questions from all around the world – you can send in your question to [email protected].
This week’s question: What does the Bible say about polygamy? In the Old Testament, there are examples of polygamy, but should this be embraced today? Is it permissible and/or encouraged to have more than one spouse?
For more on the topic, watch the video above and visit Pastor Mark’s blog post “How Many People Should Go On the Honeymoon.”
