Author: Provan, Charles

Description:
This book makes a very good case against contraception and the contraceptive mentality. Shows that prior to the 20th century, *all* Christians taught that contraception was sinful. Provan’s task is to show that both the Scriptures and the Christian tradition are on the side of openness to children. Far from making the case for Roman Catholicism, Provan shows that Protestants have historically been more faithful to God’s Word on the issue of openness to children than Roman Catholicism - a point which the Roman Catholic historian and jurist John Noonan concedes in his monumental study, “Contraception.”
