Reviews

[John Yelverton · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book definitely deals with the heart of the subject matter and actually uses hermeneutics when dealing with the scripture passages; however, the book is more of an academic discussion rather than actually dealing with the heart of the matter that it cut to in the first place.

[Adam Chandler · Rating 4 out of 5]

A brief treatment of abortion and related subjects from a Christian perspective. If you wish for a brief treatment, this is for you; but if you want something more in depth or recent (considering this book was written in 1981 and there have been many changes in science and ideologies since then), then you should pick up something else.
