The aim of this book is to question the standard Christian narrative
about procreation. It explores the key philosophical arguments for
anti-natalism and argues that many of them are compatible with
Christianity. It also develops a risk-based argument suggesting that
even a slight possibility of one’s children going to hell should
give prospective parents pause. Undergirding these ideas is the
uncontroversial assumption that in most cases Christians should be
concerned with preventing harm. The book features coverage of the
history of anti-natalism, especially within Christianity, and
concludes by addressing an extensive number of objections. Christian
Anti-Natalism is essential reading for all scholars, researchers and
advanced students of religious ethics especially those focussing on
questions related to procreation.
