What does the Bible say about polygamy? What did Jesus say? How should the church approach the subject of polygamy in the 21st Century? Should polygamists be admitted to the church membership? More than One Wife is an exploration of the Biblical and cultural roots of polygamy and its place in modern African society. Although the authors are firmly in favor of monogamy as the ideal for Christian marriage they urge us to have compassion for the men, women and children trapped in polygamous cultures. Archbishop Stanley Ntagali, Primate of the Church of Uganda, recalls the pain created by the first missionaries in their attempt to impose Western standards on African society which resulted in refusing church membership to polygamists and their wives and children. This book asks and answers challenging questions for indigenous African pastors and for visitors from other cultures, and reminds us that we are all sinners and that Christ Jesus came to save sinners. Written by the Archbishop of Uganda, and with a foreword by Justice James Ogoola, Principal Judge (Emeritus) of Uganda, and Chairman of the Uganda Council of Elders, this is a book to be taken seriously by anyone planning to live or work among the people of East Africa.

As far as I know this is the Archbishop's first published book and it is a timely and important one as he begins his service as leader of the Church of Uganda. My wife and lived and worked for three years in the Bunyoro-Kitara Diocese, a rural region of Western Uganda, where the Archbishop served through his early years of ministry. We were very much aware of the difficulties and perplexing allurements of polygamy, especially in rural Ugandan culture. However, the authors also touch on the "psuedo-polygamy" of the western "divorce culture". Archbishop Ntagali writes with wisdom and compassion about a subject he knows from personal experience (his father was a polygamist), many interviews and thorough research. Co-author Eileen Hodgetts' stylistic skills add a wonderful clarity to the Archbishop's writing and make this a good and important read. My wife and I read it aloud together, cover-to-cover, almost in one sitting. We highly recommend it!Product details

I highly recommend this book for anyone plans to spend time in Africa. The authors, Archbishop Ntagali and Eileen Hodgetts, discusses the many facets of polygamy from a cultural, religious, economic view. They also address the effects of polygamy and missionaries on the family relationships with compassion and respect. If you plan to do missionary work in Africa this really is a must read.
