Polygamy is beneficial in an appropriate context

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This study explores the practice of polygamy and tries to find out more about its benefits. It is quite clear that a cultural practice that has withstood the test of time has some benefits for the people who practice it. The study will explore contexts which are appropriate for the practice of polygamy and those that may not be appropriate because of changes that have been brought about by industrial developments. Polygamy has been practised by many nations of the world for millennia; especially during ancient times. In Europe and Asia polygamy was widely practised during the era of the Old Testament. In the era of the New Testament, Christians stated criticising the practice of polygamy. In Africa polygamy which is a tradition and a religion is still practised today. Africa is the continent where polygamy is widely practised. Western missionaries and colonial powers tried to abolish polygamy through the introduction of Christianity but they did not succeed. After African churches realised that the Bible said nothing against polygamy, they started accepting polygamous congregants to the Christian churches. Polygamy is also widely practised in the Middle East.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch. Artikel-Nr. 9786204727219
