Grounded in sacred scripture and ancient covenant history, this open theological treatise invites ministers, scholars, and seekers to examine marital covenants, sacred lineage, and scriptural context with clarity and reverence.

What does the Bible really say about a man with more than one wife? Most Christians were handed an answer before they were handed the texts. In Touching and Agreeing, Danny Gilbert walks through Scripture from Genesis to the letters of Paul, examining the patriarchs, the Law of Moses, the kings and prophets, and the words of Jesus. The book makes the case that the Bible permits plural marriage, regulates it, and never once calls it sin. But this is not a book about permission alone. Through four stories of couples and families, it shows what a godly plural home requires: love that is not divided, provision that is not diminished, and hearts that touch and agree. Each chapter closes with a summary and questions for personal reflection, making this book ideal for personal study, couples, and discussion groups.

“Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” — Matthew 18:19
