Witnessing to the Sanctity of Human Life, Through Education, Based on the Word of God

The Faith of Unborn Children

The Faith of Unborn Children is a witness to the value of children before birth and a call for a return to that historic Christian concern for the preservation of such valuable life. The author, Johann Georg Walch, was a professor of exegesis, philosophy, and theology at Jena, Germany, and is, perhaps, best known for editing an edition of Luther’s works which later became the St. Louis edition

(“Walch 2”).

The style of his theological argument is one which our American Lutheran forebears, such as H.H. Muhlenberg and C.F.W. Walther, knew well.

This second edition is completely reformatted making Walch’s classical Lutheran approach of presenting and defending these theses a little easier to read. 

Dr. James I. Lamb, Executive Director of Lutherans For Life says, “The question of the faith of unborn and unbaptized babies has always been an important one for Lutheran Christians. In an age when so many abortions are performed every day, the question becomes even more critical to address. We hope this book will be helpful in doing so.

 “Regardless of your thoughts on this treatise, however, one thing is very clear. The question of the value and dignity of unborn human life is assumed and never brought into the discussion. As Dr. Jean Garton says in her foreword, ‘Whether it is a compelling argument for the faith of unborn children, theologians will, no doubt, continue to debate. But one thing is certain: This book demonstrates the unquestioned high regard with which the Christian Church, until recent times, has viewed the unborn child.’”
