Book Overview

Marriage With A Deceased Wife�������s Sister: Prohibited By Holy Scripture, As Understood By The Church For 1500 Years is a book written by Edward Bouverie Pusey and published in 1849. The book argues that marriage with a deceased wife's sister is prohibited by Holy Scripture and has been understood as such by the Church for 1500 years. Pusey, a prominent Anglican theologian, uses biblical and historical evidence to support his argument, and also addresses counterarguments and objections to his position. The book was written in response to a growing movement in England to legalize marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and Pusey's arguments were influential in shaping the Church's position on the issue. The book is considered an important work in the history of Anglican theology and Church history.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.
