ReEngaging ELCA Social Teaching on Abortion

About this book

Riswold calls us to think together about the ELCA's 1991 social statement on abortion. Our social, political, and legal context has changed drastically since this statement was written, but one thing remains the same: we as Lutherans are called to compassionate community. What does this mean for us today? Riswold invites readers into thoughtful conversation in an engaging and accessible volume that will help individuals, faith communities, and classrooms engage the complex issues surrounding abortion in the United States.

ReEngaging ELCA Social Teaching on Abortion draws on theology, biblical foundations, and Lutheran ethical witness to develop a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of the roots, reach, and contemporary context of Lutheran social teaching on abortion. Placing readers in the shoes of others who might engage this statement, Riswold asks us to consider abortion, in all its complexity, through the lens of neighbor-love. Suitable for both personal and community use, this volume includes discussion questions and a curated list of resources for additional reading.
