The subject of abortion is one of the most contentious and emotionally charged issues of modern times. It divides friends, families, and Christians alike. The abortion issue demands clarity. This book is the result of two Christians seeking a deeper understanding of the issue at the individual level. It is the result of searching beyond the emotionalism that typically accompanies any discourse on abortion. It also seeks to get underneath the superficial Christian response of "because the Bible says so." This book seeks to look at the issue of abortion from both a secular scientific perspective and a Christian perspective to provide a reasoned exploration of this inflammatory topic to help Christians build a broader and clearer perspective.
