We’re challenging Christians to have balanced, biblical conversations about abortion.
Our politics are broken.
But the Spirit can work through your Christian community to begin to heal our divisions.
This is a bi-partisan Bible study that can help you start
-
Engage in dialogue
Are you done with heated arguments and divisive gossip? This election season, bring your Christian community together for transparent, respectful, intentional, life-giving conversations about faith and politics. Create an environment that encourages open dialogue around complex topics.
-
Read scripture
Enough with the proof-texting! This Bible study goes from the beginning to the end of the New Testament and examines major passages in context. You’ll get an overview of how Christians across the political spectrum have interpreted various sections, giving you the tools to engage confidently at the intersection of faith and politics.
-
Hear perspectives
We’re not here to push a viewpoint on you. This study explains perspectives from across the political spectrum so that you can engage in more fruitful conversations and develop your own informed view. No spin. No agenda. We’ll give you the tools to come to your own conclusions and to ask better questions.
It’s a Bible study about abortion
Biblical conversations about abortion are hard because:
The Bible doesn’t mention abortion anywhere
The Bible is a long book that says a lot of different things
Christians disagree about how to interpret the Bible and how to apply its teachings to modern political issues
That means that in order to have a balanced, biblical conversation about abortion, we need to:
Break down the different issues at stake in the abortion debate to see what the Bible has to say
Look at what scripture says holistically and in context rather than proof-texting
Examine multiple Christian viewpoints from across the political spectrum
Breaking it down
To understand how the Bible speaks to the modern abortion debate, Christians need to examine:
What Jesus’ message was and how it’s been interpreted politically
How the Bible depicts Christians’ relationship with government & power
What the role of tradition is in the Christian faith
And what humanity’s relationship should be with the rest of God’s creation
These four themes shape Christians’ views on abortion.
And because Christians across the political spectrum think differently about these themes, they hold a wide range of beliefs about it.
To have a balanced, biblical conversation about abortion, Christians need to explore how believers across the political spectrum interpret these themes throughout scripture.
That’s what this Bible study will equip you to do.
