Abortion – Hub Post

by Stephen Rodgers

This is the hub post for var­i­ous arti­cles and ser­mons on the sub­ject of abortion.

Our church recently took a Sunday to consider what the Bible has to say on the topic of abortion. For anyone who missed it, both the sermon and the follow-up article are still available.

Considering the magnitude of the issue, I was asked to create a repository on the subject, much like we’ve already done with several other topics (such as DTR or Church Discipline). Periodically we may update this page to introduce links to new resources.

All ser­mons in the Abortion series:

In addition, there are a number of excellent books that deal with the topic.

In the interest of keeping this list relatively short, here are four that approach the topic (directly or indirectly) from a variety of angles:

  • The ESV Study Bible contains a series of essays on the subject of Biblical ethics, one of which specifically addresses the issue of abortion
  • The Case for Life: Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture by Scott Klusendorf
  • Abortion: A Rational Look at an Emotional Issue by RC Sproul
  • Pro-Life Answers to Pro-Choice Questions by Randy Alcorn
  • Safe in the Arms of God by John MacArthur

There are also a great many resources that are freely available on the internet.

Here are the topical indexes:

And here are the specific articles and series:

Additionally, there have been some relatively recent developments in the field of medical ethics that have begun to examine the question of post-birth abortions as well:
