The Bible and Polygamy

The Bible and Polygamy: Does It Approve of It? by George Q. Cannon offers a thorough examination of the relationship between religious theology and traditional marriage customs. This book explores whether polygamy is permitted in the Bible through a colorful tapestry of historical interpretation and theological conversation. It includes many letters that address this subject, including discussions or arguments between Brigham Young, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Reverend Dr. J. P. Newman, the pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist Church in Washington, D.C.
