More about the book

The book explores the historical practice of infant exposure in ancient Greek and Roman societies, particularly highlighting the reasons behind this practice, such as gender and familial status. It contrasts this with Jewish and Christian beliefs, which sought to discourage such actions by emphasizing the inherent value of every human life and the sanctity of newborns as creations of God. The arguments used by early Christians were largely influenced by Jewish teachings, underscoring a shared commitment to the protection of vulnerable life.
