These readings present the complicated and multifaceted reality of abortion as addressed by the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions.
This volume introduces students to the history of cultural and theological responses to abortion as background for understanding a diversity of ethical positions in contemporary Christian, Jewish, and Muslim writings. Politicized debates about abortion are often presented in terms of a binary rhetoric of prolife versus prochoice; however, this collection of essays shows how that binary often breaks down when abortion is seen from different religious perspectives and in light of the voices of women themselves. While abortion is a global phenomenon, this volume focuses on the U.S. context. American abortion politics and culture wars have been dominated by Christian voices; nevertheless, Jewish and Muslim abortion ethics engage many of the same issues from different cultural and religious perspectives. Finally, this volume presents important examples of recent social scientific studies about the relationship of religion and abortion in the diverse cultural, racial, and economic fabric of American society.Pedagogical features include:- Introduction to the subject matter by the editors- Introductory essays to all five parts of the book- Questions for classroom discussionAdditional pedagogical materials can be found at: https://abortionreligionreader.com/
