Marriage With A Deceased Wife's Sister: Prohibited By Holy Scripture, As Understood By The Church For 1500 Years (1849)

Marriage With A Deceased Wife�������s Sister: Prohibited By Holy Scripture, As Understood By The Church For 1500 Years (1849) is a book written by Edward Bouverie Pusey. The book is a theological study of the biblical prohibition of marrying one's deceased wife's sister. Pusey argues that this prohibition is rooted in Holy Scripture and has been understood by the Church for 1500 years. He examines the historical and theological reasons behind the prohibition, as well as the cultural context in which it arose. Pusey's work is a defense of traditional Christian teachings on marriage and family, and he argues that the prohibition against marrying one's deceased wife's sister is a necessary safeguard against moral and spiritual corruption. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of theology, as well as anyone interested in the history of Christian thought on marriage and family.Evidence Given Before The Commission Appointed To Inquire Into The State And Operation Of The Law Of Marriage, As Relating To The Prohibited Degrees Of Affinity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
