Overview

The use of birth control by married couples is not debated in evangelical circles. But one couple says we should give it some thought. They have chosen to let nature take its course and have not artificially prevented pregnancy. In a dissenting article, a scholar builds a biblical and theological case for birth control. Why has family planning generated so much debate among Catholics and so little among Protestants?
