McKeown's book engages constructively and critically with the arguments
of the natalists who believe that the Bible requires them to have large families.
He does so by situating a careful and painstaking analysis of the hermeneutical
arguments that are put forward in favour of this position alongside an equally
well-informed account of how the texts they reference have been interpreted
by Christian theologians at key points in the Christian tradition. Reflection
on this juxtaposition makes clear that the modern arguments put forward in
favour of large families are poorly grounded in Christian readings of these
texts, and that taking the Bible seriously on this issue is likely to lead to very
different interpretations of Christian responsibility.
