Did God approve of polygamy—or merely permit it because of human weakness? In this in-depth Bible study, we explore the historical, cultural, and theological background of polygamy in Scripture. From the Patriarchs to the Kings of Israel, the Bible consistently reveals the brokenness, jealousy, and suffering that flowed from polygamous households—yet also God’s unwavering faithfulness amid human failure.

🙏 Together we’ll discover:

Why polygamy was common in the ancient Near East

How Scripture portrays its devastating consequences in families and faith

The creation blueprint of “one flesh” monogamy (Genesis 2:24)

Jesus’ and the Apostles’ reaffirmation of marriage as a covenant of love between one man and one woman

How the Church Fathers viewed polygamy as a concession, not a command

What this means for us today as we reflect on God’s design for marriage

⚖️ Ultimately, the story of biblical polygamy is not about human success, but about divine grace. God’s plan for marriage—revealed in Eden and restored in Christ—remains a covenant of faithful, exclusive love, pointing to Christ the Bridegroom and His Church.
