Innocent Blood: Challenging the Powers of Death with the Gospel of Life

Amazon.com: Innocent Blood: Challenging the Powers of Death with the Gospel of Life (9781936760299): John Ensor: Books: Abortion, Ensor explains, is fundamentally a gospel issue.
"To think of abortion as a secondary issue--or worse, a merely political issue--is to fundamentally misunderstand the defining experience of our times. It also means we fundamentally fail to see the central truth that the cross alone can cleanse the conscience from the debilitating effects of bloodguilt. Our capacity to simply ignore the influence of abortion is crippling the effectiveness of the gospel. Abortion's role in the consciences of hundreds of millions of people in the United States alone is a boil that festers just under the surface of all Christian endeavors, and it needs lancing. It needs to be called out by name, confessed by name, and brought under a gospel that declares that there is no forgiveness for the shedding of innocent blood except by the shedding of innocent blood, that is, by the blood of Christ." (p. 68)"
