Matthew Lee Anderson is Assistant Professor in the Honors College at Baylor University, USA.
In the face of the threats of climate change, population growth, and mass migration, the issue of whether to have children, and why, is rising in salience not only in academic philosophy, but also in wider popular discourse. In his book Matthew Anderson brings a searching intelligence, analytical tenacity, lucid thinking, and a lively pen to the task of working out a thoroughly theological response to the question, and one that counters ‘procreative pessimism’ with Christian hope. This is a work of unusually high intellectual caliber. * Nigel Biggar, University of Oxford, UK *
