All Life Belongs to God

The book explores the historical practice of infant exposure in ancient Greece and Rome, particularly focusing on societal attitudes towards gender, deformity, and legitimacy. It highlights the efforts of Jewish and Christian leaders to combat this practice, emphasizing the inherent value of every individual and the sanctity of life as ordained by God. Both religions advocated for the protection of newborns, viewing them as persons deserving of care and respect, thus contrasting sharply with the prevailing norms of their time.
