“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.”

The Case for Life
Human, but Not a Person? Answering Kate Greasley
Either every human being shares an equal right to life, or human value rests on traits — self-awareness, rationality, the ability to feel pain — that none of us possess in equal measure. Oxford philosopher Kate Greasley grants that the unborn are human but denies they are persons, offering one of the most sophisticated cases on the pro-choice side, and Scott Klusendorf shows why her arguments, however winsome, can’t deliver the human equality she still wants to keep. Find out how to answer one of the brightest voices on the other side without being intimidated, on this episode of The Case for Life.
When Children Become Necklaces
The culture is ratcheting up its attacks on human value and dignity. Whether abandoning reasoned debate in favor of hostile personal attacks or turning unwanted embryos into jewelry, abortion culture treats human beings as commodities to be manipulated rather than gifts to be received. Discover how you can effectively keep the main thing the main thing and defend the intrinsic value of every image-bearer on this episode of The Case for Life.
Disagreement Without Division: Drawing Lines Without Breaking Fellowship
Scott Klusendorf is joined by his producer Adrian Rink to discuss how to navigate conflicts between brothers and avoid the trap of tribalism within the pro-life movement. Not everything is worth fighting over, and learning to distinguish between simple disagreement and necessary division is a vital skill for modern ministry. Learn how you can maintain a God-glorifying focus on rescuing the unborn while treating your fellow laborers with grace and humility on this episode of The Case for Life.
