'''Quiverfull''' is a movement within Christianity that encourages large families as justified by the [[Bible]]. Quiverfull families do not believe in any kind of birth control, including [[abstinence]]. Quiverfull is taken from Psalm 127:3-5 which states:
'''Quiverfull''' is a movement that encourages large families as justified by the [[Bible]]. Quiverfull families do not believe in any kind of birth control, including [[abstinence]]. Although similar to traditional Catholic teachings, the movement is primarily within fundamentalist Christianity.
The movement takes its name from Psalm 127:3-5, which adherents interpret to mean that they should welcome large families of many children, and should not abstain from their duty to [[God]] to procreate, as set out in [[Genesis]] 1:28 ("Be fruitful and multiply"). The text of Psalm 127:3-5 states:
<blockquote>
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD:
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD:
and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man;
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man;
so are children of the youth.
so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
they shall not be ashamed,
they shall not be ashamed,
but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
(King James version)

Most members of the Quiverfull movement also adhere to very conservative biblical lifestyles, including:
*homeschooling
*strong moral leadership from fathers
*a rejection of anti-Christian culture in movies (often the families do not have television and may or may not have computers, or at least their use is extremely limited with numerous safeguards in place), music, and books
*very modest clothing (for example women will only wear dresses and often will wear head coverings).
Quiverfull families interpret this passage to mean that they should welcome large families of many children, and should not abstain from their duty to [[God]] to procreate, as set out in [[Genesis]] 1:28; Be fruitful and multiply.
The Duggar family is a notable example of Quiverfull adherents. Other movements which teach Quiverfull, in some form, include the [[Institute in Basic Life Principles]].
