The author also goes into the OT understanding of adultery and how it was essentially unlawful relations with a married woman, the sin being primarily taking that which belonged to another man. The author contended that if a man and wife chose to engage in polyamory no sin was committed unless they engaged in relations with a woman who was married against her husband's wishes.
The book was a challenging read.
And while the author make some valid points in a cultural context, I don't believe in every conclusion drawn by the author. The books' title was
Divine Sex.
