See also a recent academic article by Ms. FioRito arguing that, “among the movements for social justice and equality, the pro-life movement is quite possibly the most diverse and inclusive.”

EPPC SCHOLARS ON THE
“MESSAGE FROM JERUSALEM”
In this month’s featured essay from Mosaic, EPPC Adjunct Fellow (and member of EPPC’s board of directors) Eric Cohen argues for the centrality of the “Hebraic vision” in rescuing and defending Judeo-Christian civilization today.
In a response to the essay, also published by Mosaic, EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel affirms Mr. Cohen’s essay as an “exercise in courage, for he is challenging both his fellow Jews and his Christian friends to engage in a long, difficult, countercultural campaign of cultural resistance for the sake of cultural renewal, and that is going to be costly.”
And in a companion response, Dr. Wilfred M. McClay, a member of EPPC’s board of directors, also takes up the themes of Mr. Cohen’s essay, suggesting that “the balance between Athens and Jerusalem...has been altered, very much to the disadvantage of the latter, and is in danger of being destroyed altogether.”
