Birth Control and the Christian (1969)

Birth Control and the Christian: A Protestant Symposium on The Control of Human Reproduction (HC, $2)

"The stress and strain of the modern outlook, loosed as it is from moral and spiritual certainties, has left its sorry stamp upon modern life in wide evidences of cultural breakdown and in the multitude of individuals carrying psychic burdens."

"The papers presented to the Symposium on the Control of Human Reproduction and printed in this volume, represent an effort by evangelical leaders to stay abreast of current developments and to appraise them from an authentically biblical point of view."

"None can gloss over the significance of the fact that this conference, jointly sponsored by the Christian Medical Society and Christianity Today brought together theologians, physicians, lawyers and sociologists, for a sustained discussion of crucial issues."

What did the Christian Medical Society think about birth control in 1969? What do you think about what they thought back then? Look for this book in the Religious blog section.
