      Product Description

      When an individual or couple is considering a difficult choice such as IVF treatment or third party assisted conception, the moral and ethical basis for their decisions may often be informed by their particular faith traditions. Faith and Fertility is a comprehensive collection of essays by academics and faith leaders from around the world. The reader is introduced to the cultural and religious understanding of fertility as it is practised among diverse international faith traditions. Each chapter is written in an accessible and clear style, outlining each faith's history and its core beliefs and values, showing the influence these have on its moral and ethical perspective on the issues surrounding fertility. This book will be a welcome resource for anyone seeking information on the plethora of attitudes towards fertility that are at work in today's global and multi-cultural world.

      Faith and Fertility

      This collection of academic essays will appeal to those wanting to compare the attitudes to reproductive ethics and sexual practice of the main religions of the world. As a research resource it is clearly written and for those whose vocation requires a working knowledge across faiths, this will be a useful addition to the library. I was a little disappointed because I had hoped for something more societal and historical around childlessness or the promise of offspring, but although much of the source material is ancient, the questions are framed in a very modern way and to suit modern enquiry. And for many, that will be its great strength.
