Proclaiming the Pro-Life Message

January 22, 1973, was truly a day of infamy for the United States of America. On that day, the U.S. Supreme Court, in the Roe v. Wade decision, opened the floodgates of the evils of abortion throughout this country. Some 30 million innocent babies have died since then at the hands of abortionists. Evangelical Christian leaders were at first slow to respond to this tragedy. But when they did, the evangelical community became the most potent force in the fight against abortion and other anti-life positions being advocated by the abortionists. Proclaiming the Pro-Life Message draws together the very best of what has been written and preached by these Evangelical leaders during the past 26 years. The editor, Larry Lewis, former president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Home Mission Board, led the charge against abortion in the SBC. Back in the days when speaking out on the subject was unpopular and even politically dangerous, Lewis was highly vocal, standing firm for his beliefs. The list of authors reads like a Who's Who Among Evangelicals in the Pro-Life Movement: Chuck Colson, W.A. Criswell, Jimmy Draper, Carol Everett, Gerald Harris, O.S. Hawkins, Jim Henry, Ron Herrod, Junior Hill, Anthony Jordan, D. James Kennedy, Beverly LaHaye, Richard Land, John MacArthur Jr., J. Greg Martin, David Miller, Adrian Rogers, George Sweeting, Kristen White and Sylvia Boothe. Each articulates his or her perspective on what being pro-life today means and what evangelical Christians must do to contain and eradicate this evil from our land.
