This 1994 book explores multi-spouse relationships as a solution to demographic and social trends. Dr. Kilbride's background in African Studies allows him to develop cross-cultural threads and to examine the responses of the Christian missionary churches to African polygyny. These discussions provide food for thought for those grappling with reconciling Christianity and multi-spouse relationships. |
An excellent, if occasionally tediously detailed, scholarly research work examining contemporary polygamous families in the fundamentalist Mormon Christian tradition. Wonderful cross-cultural comparisons by these two seasoned academic experts. The book sheds a lot of light on contemporary polygamy and shatters a lot of negative stereotypes. |
