In today’s episode, we’re tackling a topic that challenges cultural norms and theological assumptions: polygamy. What was once considered a fringe practice in the U.S. is now gaining more visibility, prompting questions about marriage, ethics, and faith.What does the Bible say and how should Christians understand this subject? In the Old Testament we see polygamy in practice among patriarchs and kings who had multiple wives –but how did God perceive that? Are there instances in which God condones the practice?To help us navigate this topic, we’re joined by missiology professor James Fyffe, a missionary himself, who spent time ministering in cultures where polygamy is a longstanding tradition. Today we will look to God’s word to find out not only what the Bible says about polygamy, but how this question may impact people in ministry and on the mission field. James, welcome to the show.For more information on the subject, please read the Notes for Episodes 227.Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore
