Abortion & The Early Church

The sadness I feel over the abortion epidemic in America has intensified as I spend time with and bond with my 3 week old son.Abortion is not a new epidemic. Abortions have been occurring for thousands of years. Several years ago, in my Early Church History course in seminary, I wrote a lengthy research paper on the Early Church's response to abortion in the Greco-Roman world. The early Christians provided a comprehensive critique and response to the practice of abortion, the likes of which had never been seen. You might appreciate reading this research paper (I received an A on it). Download abortion_the_early_church
