Was the point just to illustrate the kind of flawed logic often used by scoffers to dismiss cases of polygyny in Scripture? Joash is not a 'proof text' - just an example. There are many. And there are proof texts, too.

I think it is important to note that the scripture says that Joash "did what was right". That assigns agency to Joash and his decisions and actions are what are being called "right in the sight of the LORD". 2 Kings 12:2 KJV And Jehoash did...

Yes, the early church required that single women join families rather than depend on the benevolence of the church. Nowadays they are abandoned to a willing Papa Government.

That is one that no one else can know. There is also no specified penalty for it. The irony that connects that to the subject of polygyny is that a man who knows it is lawful to take a second wife, and has the opportunity to, could be sinning if...

That wasn’t exactly where I was going with this link. It was mostly to report on the fact that our society is no better off or more content with delayed or absence of marriage. There might be financial struggles with earlier marriage, but also...

I think the position of understanding the translation of "one-woman man" as an idiom to describe a faithful man, who keeps his covenants and is not promiscuous, is the most pure way of taking the texts. If we look at how the rest of the...
