Who is the husband of one wife?
For years churches have struggled with Paul’s admonition that leaders be husbands of one wife, yet the meaning of this phrase has remained elusive. Some understand it as a simple prohibition against polygamy, while others see it as a permanent bar against divorcees serving in leadership.
This brief volume explores the meaning of the phrase, seeking to bring clarity to an opaque and difficult passage.
