This book examines changing views of procreation and fetal
development throughout the history of the Christian tradition. This
is the first comprehensive study of cultural perceptions of
pregnancy, an area of scholarship that been understudied in the
past. Pregnancy holds a central place in Christian ritual,
iconography, and theology, including the dogma of the incarnation
and the cult of Virgin Mary. This book provides a broad
introduction to the attitudes and ideas within Western Christian
communities by focusing on four periods of transition: Antiquity,
the Enlightenment, modernity, and the present day. It lays the
groundwork for further study of the interactions between biological
models, cultural preconceptions, and religious beliefs.
