Segment 1 – Intro and News
 

Segment 2 & 3 – Adam and Eve After the Pill, Revisited
“Celebrated author Mary Eberstadt continues her ground-breaking examination of the legacy of the sexual revolution. 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. This follow-on book investigates the revolution’s macrocosmic transformations in three spheres: society, politics, and Christianity. It also includes an analysis of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.”

Mary Eberstadt holds the Panula Chair in Christian Culture at the Catholic Information Center in Washington, D.C., and is a Senior Research Fellow at the Faith and Reason Institute. She is an essayist, novelist, and author of several influential books including How the West Really Lost God: A New Theory of Secularization. Her previous volumes with Ignatius Press include Adam and Eve after the Pill: Paradoxes of the Sexual Revolution, and the novel, The Loser Letters: A Comic Tale of Life, Death, and Atheism.
