Title: God is the ultimate Patriarch who portrayed himself as a Polygynist
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2021
Review: This book reveals in as short amount of pages as possible that "one man-one woman" is not found in Holy Scripture. But polygyny is practiced throughout and is never called a SIN!

I especially enjoyed Chapter 2 on concubinage and Chapter 3 that covers polygynous men of the Bible (37 of them). Polygyny isn't just for the rich or high status, as more than half of the polygynists were common men.

There is a lot of good information packed into this small book to guide you to deeper study in finding the truth that will set you free from pagan and Roman Catholic heresy. Be sure to read the Most Common Arguments against polygyny and then try to refute them.

Highly recommend for those just starting their research on this topic, as well as, those who are / have been in the process for some time.

Title: The author grabs your attention from the start and never lets go! Excellent read!

Review: I've done considerable amount of study on polygyny over the past couple of years. So I already knew the arguments both for and against it, and all of the relevant scripture used by both sides of the discussion. However, from the moment I began reading this book I found the author provided a fresh way of presenting the information and a clear, logical method for laying out the evidence and refuting the arguments against polygyny.

I especially enjoyed the listing of each and every polygynist in the Bible, along with a very detailed explanation of the relevant scripture and the events which affected their lives. Having heard countless arguments from people who are against polygyny, the author provide me with new perspective of each person in the bible and the entirety of their marriages and the issues which they faced. Most anti-polygyny Christians will argue that polygyny causes strife and chaos in families (they ignore that Cain killed Abel and weren't from a poly family, and what could cause more strife & chaos than brother murdering brother?), Maurices' breakdown of all relevant scripture regarding each family and the reasons for their issues, made it abundantly clear polygyny was NOT the reason for their problems.

For anyone interested in the TRUTH of the bible, without the western culture 'spin' and the preordained determination by your pastor/preacher/minister/evangelist/etc, then this book is a MUST READ! Be forewarned; the truth in this book will upset what most western culture has been raised to believe is truth. But it's truth is undeniable if you simply read the scripture without your western rose color glasses.

Title: This Book Will Make You Think
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2018
Review: I normally don’t write reviews but due to the topic discussed in this book I am making an exception. With all the recent negative news stories surrounding the subject of polygamy it is unique to find an author willing to take on this subject from a scholarly point of view. I was directed to this book from a fellow educator who said I would find the author’s approach to the subject logical and well supported. I was not disappointed.

The book starts with an opening that indicates that this is the first in a series of texts that will provide a comprehensive review of the "one man with multiply wives" version of polygamy called polygyny. This first volume provides a detailed look at how the Bible addresses the subject. What makes the author’s work so distinct is that he backs up his conclusions based on a thorough review of relevant passages in the bible in conjunction with historical facts that provide background context. By the end of the book I feel I have a good foundational understanding of the subject and look forward to the author’s future works.

Title: So Far So Good.
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 20, 2019
Review: I have done a fair amount of study on the subject myself so it is nice to see the author being thorough. I can help to ease his mind on one problem that he ran into. Abram did not marry his sister. We have an extra biblical writing that shows Sarai was Abram's niece, the daughter of Abram's dead brother Haran as was Lot and Milcah. Change one word from singular to plural in the following verse as is allowed in Hebrew and it should make sense. Genesis 11:29 "And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughters of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah."
I have completed the book.
There is one other point that would have made this book easier to write and prove as correct. The Greek word for separation is incorrectly translated as divorce several times as found in Malachi 2:16, Matthew 5:32, Matthew 19 and Mark 10. The clue is to note that if the words "writing of" or "bill of" are found then the word divorce is correct. If those words are not found then the meaning is separated or separated, still married based on context.

Title: Excellent and well-written, with one quibble..
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2018
Review: Polygyny is a difficult culture shifting truth straight from the Scriptures. Nelson does a fine job assembling the pieces for the reader while cautioning its use or implimentation. His conclusion that man is effectively emasculated in a monogamy only culture is true and needs to be further explored, particularly how polygyny by even a small percentage of a population base spells the defeat of feminism.

My one quibble is Nelson's understanding of the Pauline 'one wife' uses for elders and deacons. Nelson fails to notice or articulate that if the translation of 'mia' as 'one' is correct, then Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Caleb, David, etc would not be qualified as a simple elder or deacon. A better translation of 'mia' would be 'first' as in, 'not divorced' or 'a' as in 'married, not single.' More study is needed on that particular point as the implications of disallowing polygyny to leaders does not meet with righteous OT examples.

Good book. Fast challenging read. Necessary step of acceptance for Biblical truth and cultural survival.

Title: Knowledge Is Power!
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 12, 2021
Review: I found this book AFTER already coming to the truth of Polygyny in Scripture. Yet I found myself reading as if I was just learning it. Very well written... extremely thorough & makes a solid case to stand firm on the knowledge of righteous Polygyny. The points of reference & correct use of exegesis sets the table to teach this truth & defend the Biblical history of our forefathers. Thank you for this work.
