But today we are witnessing what some might call a more “conservative” version gaining traction: a renewed interest in polyamory and polygamy. This, too, bears all the classic marks of rejecting Christian marriage — only now it does so in a more crafty way, cloaking itself in appeals to nature, history, and even Scripture. The man with many wives wrote the Bible’s most eloquent testimony to exclusive devotion between one man and one woman. As the gospel advances into pagan cultures where polygamy existed, Paul does not relax the standard for Christian leadership. The Christian marriage points us to Christ’s monogamous love for his church.
