John and Celia Wyatt - Abortion

Christians Engaging Culture Podcast

John Wyatt is Emeritus Professor of Neonatal Paediatrics, Ethics & Perinatology at University College London. His wife Celia has worked with many women who are considering abortion or have had an abortion. In today’s podcast we hear from John on the humanity of the unborn child, focusing particularly on Psalm 139. Then Celia talks about her personal experience of bringing a woman to the forgiveness found in Jesus after grieving her abortion. She explains the forgiveness Jesus brings through the story of the woman caught in adultery.

You might be aware of the fact that John 7:53-8:11 is a significant textual variant and that the story probably wasn’t original to the gospel of John. There is a great article on this here. We wouldn’t want to hang any doctrines on this passage, but we think Celia makes many true points that could be made from other parts of Scripture.

Christians Engaging Culture exists to equip the Christians to give faithful answers in everyday cultural conversations and to turn those conversations to the gospel.
