There is an excellent discussion of polygamy in the link I provided. Some excerpts:

"The Talmud advises a maximum of four wives."

"Nowhere in the New Testament is there any explicit commandment that marriage should be monogamous or any explicit commandment forbidding polygamy. Moreover, Jesus has not spoken against polygamy though it was practiced by the Jews of his society."

"The Quran, contrary to the Bible, limited the maximum number of wives to four under the strict condition of treating the wives equally and justly. "
