Book Overview

Marriage With A Deceased Brother�������s Wife: Condemned By The Laws Of Nature, Scripture, And The Testimony Of Churches And Nations is a book written by Chalmers Izett Paton in 1869. The book explores the controversial practice of marrying one's deceased brother's wife, also known as levirate marriage. Paton argues that this practice is condemned by the laws of nature, as it goes against the natural order of marriage and procreation. He also cites biblical scripture and the testimony of various churches and nations to support his argument against levirate marriage. The book provides a historical and cultural context for the practice, as well as a theological analysis of its moral implications. Overall, Marriage With A Deceased Brother�������s Wife is a thought-provoking and informative read for anyone interested in the history of marriage and family customs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
