Description
Cry of the Innocents: Abortion and the Race Towards Judgement by John O. Anderson and Doug Brendel is a Christian book examining abortion in the United States from a biblical and theological perspective. The authors draw a comparison between contemporary American society and the society of ancient Israel described in the Old Testament, particularly the warnings and judgement associated with the book of Hosea. They also compare abortion with the practice of child sacrifice described in the Bible.
The book presents a strongly Christian and explicitly pro-life argument, warning of what the authors see as the spiritual and moral consequences of a society that permits the destruction of unborn life. Their approach combines biblical interpretation, social commentary and an urgent call for readers to consider the warnings they believe Scripture gives about innocent life and divine judgement. The tone is deliberately challenging and provocative, while also offering an encouraging message to readers who share its Christian perspective.
