#386 Were Christians Always Pro-Life? Examining the Historical Record

Were Christians always pro-life, or is opposition to abortion a recent political invention? Did the Southern Baptist Convention prove that Christians were historically pro-choice?

In this episode, Alisa responds to claims made on The Joe Rogan Experience by Texas State Representative James Talarico, who argues that the Christian pro-life position has no historical foundation and that abortion and homosexuality only became central Christian concerns in recent decades.

Looking at Scripture, the earliest Christian writings, and the historical record, Alisa traces the consistent Christian witness from the first century onward. You'll discover how the early church confronted a culture where abortion, infanticide, and sexual immorality were widely accepted—and why Christians stood apart by affirming the dignity of every human being as made in the image of God.

Topics include:

Was the early church pro-life?

What did the Didache, Epistle of Barnabas, and early church fathers teach about abortion?

Was the Southern Baptist Convention historically pro-choice?

Why did early Christians challenge the sexual ethics of the Roman Empire?

Are Christians making abortion and sexuality the primary issues, or responding to the issues culture has made primary?

Whether you've heard these historical claims before or are encountering them for the first time, this episode examines what the earliest Christians actually believed—and why that history still matters today.
