Christianity and Contraception : a historical review

 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I sanctified you.”

One of the most pronounced moral subjects of historic / traditional Christianity has been on the sanctity of life of the unborn. 

For anyone who is interested, we offer a PDF copy of a basic compilation of excerpts and quotes of what historic Christianity taught and believed regarding:

-procreation 
-contraception
-abortion
-sexual morality

This has been arranged in a chronological format: 

+beginning with the Holy Scriptures,
+pre-Christian & Jewish thought,
+ancient pagan methods of birth control
+the Apostolic Fathers,
+early Church Fathers,
+medieval Jewish and Catholic thought,
+ the Protestant Reformers and thereafter,
+and excerpts from some major mainstream denominations and traditions of today. 

If you’d like a copy of the PDF for your own reference and research, simply email us and request.
