We must review books that Winston Elliott and Brad Birzer would like, or that I would tell them they like.Īdam and Eve After the Pill: Paradoxes of the Sexual Revolution, by Mary Eberstadt (Ignatius Press, 2012) We might have a small budget to get the right books into the hands of the right persons. I read hardcover books, softcover books, Kindle books, little kids’ books (one of my favorites is Reynard the Fox) almost anything that comes into my hands. In a moment when millions wonder whether the Catholic Church will retreat from age-old moral teachings, this book demands to be put at the center of discussion.Īdam and Eve after the Pill, Revisited is both an indispensable blueprint for today's emerging revisionism, and a manifesto for a more humane order to come.Winston has asked me to review books for TIC, and to ask you to help me with this project. The book's section on the revolution's infiltration of the churches is must-reading for anyone concerned about the fate of Western Christianity. The result is an indictment of the turn taken by much of the world following the post-1960s embrace of contraception and the stigmatization of traditional morality. The book also traces the dissolution of the home to signature developments in Western politics, especially the increase in acrimony, polarization, street violence, and identity politics.
Empathetic yet precise, she connects the dots between shrinking, broken families and rising sexual confusion, seen most recently in transgenderism and related phenomena. With unflinching logic, Eberstadt summarizes the toll on Western society of today's fractured homes, feral children, and social isolates.
Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. It also includes an analysis of the recent U.S. This follow-on book investigates the revolution's macrocosmic transformations in three spheres: society, politics, and Christianity.
The book's predecessor, Adam and Eve after the Pill (2012), dissected the revolution's microcosmic fallout via its empirical effects on the lives of men, women, and children.
Celebrated author Mary Eberstadt continues her ground-breaking examination of the legacy of the sexual revolution.
