ABORTION AND THE BIBLE: Can Pro-life and Pro-choice Both Be Right? - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Abortion and the Bible is an appraisal of the more prominent biblical texts that shed light on the issue of abortion. As it seeks to offer unbiased interpretations of these scriptures, the book exposes biblical assumptions and incongruent views held by both pro-life and pro-choice factions on this hotly divisive topic.
In particular, the book considers how the predominant evangelical view that life begins at conception fits and contrasts with the Bible by handling the following questions:
What does the Bible say about pregnancy, the unborn, miscarriage, and abortion? What does it not say? And, does it answer when personhood begins? Is it at conception? If not, is there a window for the termination of an unwanted pregnancy that would not constitute murder and be morally acceptable under certain circumstances? If so, what are these circumstances? And, are there circumstances beyond this window, when personhood already exists, that allow for a morally acceptable abortion?
