How do we understand and articulate the biblical basis for the pro-life position? How should we respond to the killing of unborn children? The biblical and historical answer to such questions lies in drawing attention to the idolatry which gave rise to our present culture's obsession with death, and demonstrating that life is something rooted in the nature of God, that can only be given or taken on God's authority. This short book is intended to equip Christians with a biblical foundation for why and how to speak up for life, and minister to the vulnerable souls who are considering abortion with compassionate understanding.

The fullness and vigour of Christianity has been in decline in the life of the West, the application of gospel truths often limited to personal evangelism and our personal prayer life. But this is a radically narrow view of the Christian mission. In the biblical narrative we see a vision for the mission of God's people that is nothing less than the faithful worship of God in every area of life and culture - in our laws, educational institutions, politics, and arts, to name just a few.

The apostle Peter wrote that God's people need to always be ready to make a defense "to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you." Christians have responded in several ways to this "apologetic mandate," but what is the most biblically faithful approach? How do we present the Christian story in a culture that denies any overarching story or purpose to the world as we know it? The answer lies in first correctly identifying the nature of the hope that is in us; this hope is grounded in the historical work of Jesus Christ, and in his present reign as Lord and King over all the earth and over every area of human activity.

The creator, redeemer God, in His complete Word, has declared the future of His Kingdom and rule, established by His will and power. God governs history, sustaining all things by His providence and power. The triune, sovereign Lord is the one in whom the Christian trusts. Bereft of such security, the non-believer must posit an entirely different worldview: Utopianism. This gospel-denying religious philosophy begins with the anarchistic rejection of God and proceeds to a re-making of man as god incarnate through the Parliament of Man, a world-state. This Nebuchadnezzar-sized idol lays claim to all the attributes of the God it has sought to supplant. In the face of this, the Christian must not yield, for the world of the future shall be God's world, and man in that world shall be what God intends him to be.

Religious Studies

The unique spheres of family, state, academy, business etc., are not the church, nor are they subordinate parts of the church. Critically however, this does not mean they are not to be Christian - transformed and shaped by the gospel, the Word of God and Lordship of Christ. It only means they are not required to be under church control. When it comes to political life and society, the church's role is not to impose, but to prophetically propose, its biblical insight for culture. 
Joe Boot explains the roots of the present cult of expertise and its role in enabling civil government to reach into areas of life where it does not belong. He calls the people of God and the church of Jesus Christ to boldly proclaim the rule of Christ's kingdom over all earthly powers.
