A Plain Statement of the Grounds on Which It Is Contended, That Marriage Within the Prohibited Degrees Is Forbidden in Scripture (1849)

A Plain Statement of the Grounds on Which It is Contended, That Marriage Within the Prohibited Degrees is Forbidden in Scripture is a book written by Hugh Bennett and published in 1849. The book presents a detailed argument for why marriage between certain family members is prohibited by the Bible. Bennett cites numerous passages from the Old and New Testaments to support his assertion that incestuous relationships are forbidden. He also examines the historical and cultural context in which these prohibitions were established, and argues that they are still relevant today. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to a wide range of readers. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of marriage and family relationships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
