Interview with Allan Carlson In an ironic twist, American
evangelical leaders are joining mainstream acceptance of
contraception. Godly Seed: American Evangelicals Confront Birth
Control, 1873-1973, examines how mid-twentieth-century evangelical
leaders eventually followed the mainstream into a quiet embrace of
contraception, complemented by a brief acceptance of abortion. It
places this change within the context of historic Christian
teaching regarding birth control, including its origins in the
early church and the shift in arguments made by the Reformers of
the sixteenth century. The book explores the demographic effects of
this transition and asks: did the delay by American evangelicals
leaders in accepting birth control have consequences? At the same
time, many American evangelicals are rethinking their acceptance of
birth control even as a majority of the nation's Roman Catholics
are rejecting their church's teaching on the practice. Raised
within a religious movement that has almost uniformly condemned
abortion, many young evangelicals have begun to ask whether
abortion can be neatly isolated from the issue of contraception. A
significant number of evangelical families have, over the last
several decades, rejected the use of birth control and returned
decisions regarding family size to God. Given the growth of the
evangelical movement, this pioneering work will have a large-scale
impact.
