“This book will equip readers to articulate both a philosophical and a biblical case for life and to answer intelligently and persuasively the main objections to the pro-life position. It is easy to follow and hard to put down.”

McAleer Professor of Bioethics, Director, Institute of Bioethics, Franciscan University of Steubenville“Scott Klusendorf’s accessible, winsomely written book presents a well-reasoned, comprehensive case for intrinsic human dignity and worth. Klusendorf not only equips the reader with incisive, insightful responses to pro-abortion arguments; he also presents a full defense of the biblical worldview.”

The Case for Life
When Politics Masquerades as Christian Compassion
An election-season op-ed tells pro-life Christians they are not compassionate the way Jesus was, and it makes the case with a story instead of an argument. Scott Klusendorf reads it line by line and asks the one question every abortion story has to answer: is this a good reason to intentionally kill an innocent human being? Learn how to answer the appeal to compassion, and why Jesus doesn’t bless our sins but atones for them, on this episode of The Case for Life.
How to Preach on Abortion: Hard Truth, Real Hope
A talk on abortion can fail in two ways: too soft to convey the gravity of shedding innocent blood, or so harsh it leaves the wounded with no hope. Scott Klusendorf walks through the three questions every sermon on abortion must answer, from the Bible’s case against abortion to the God who justifies the ungodly. Learn how to tell the truth about abortion and point post-abortive men and women to Christ on this episode of The Case for Life.
Unmuting the Pulpit: Why Pastors Must Speak on Abortion
Many pastors stay silent on abortion for fear of looking political, out of apathy, or from a lack of confidence in the gospel. Former pastor Mike Spencer, author of Humanly Speaking, tells Scott Klusendorf why a shepherd who won’t speak for the preborn is failing to protect his flock, and lays out four duties of a pro-life church. Find out how to encourage your own pastor to unmute the pulpit on this episode of The Case for Life.
