- More about Polygamy in the Law of Moses
Polygamy in the Law of Moses argues that the Mosaic Law supports polygamy, but scholars disagree. Ryan J. Stephens examines six key texts and provides clarity to the discussion, supporting the view that polygamy was a licit practice in the Old Testament period.

Polygamy in the Law of Moses contends that the Mosaic Law offers implicit endorsement for polygamy as a legitimate practice during the Old Testament era. This assertion stands in stark contrast to the assertions made by several prominent contemporary scholars. This book delves into six pivotal texts: Exodus 21:7-11, Leviticus 18:18, Deuteronomy 17:17, 21:15-17, 22:23-29, and 25:5-10. Each of these key texts has been subject to diverse interpretations by scholars, with regards to their implications for comprehending polygamy in the Hebrew Bible. Ryan J. Stephens offers a comprehensive analysis of each of these key texts, along with a critical engagement and assessment of the counterclaims presented by scholars. Stephens' work brings clarity to the discourse surrounding polygamy in the Hebrew Bible, lending support to the position that polygamy was a permissible practice during the Old Testament era.
