Polygamy “Unlawful” in the NT ?

We found someone asking these questions about plural marriage in a theological forum:

1. “Why was polygamy allowed in the OT, yet in the NT seems to be unlawful ?”
2. “Why is it expressly stated in the NT that it is adultery for a woman to have two husbands while it seems that if a man has several wives he is just forbidden from ministry ?”
3. “Can you refer me to some good sites dealing with the issue of polygamy or biblical plural marriage ?”

Since we are discontinuing this blog, you can read our answers on our new blog.
