Jewish and Christian Views on Bodily Pleasure

Their Origins and Relevance in the Twentieth-Century

by Robert Cherry ...

At the beginning of the Common Era, Jewish renewal movements, including Jesus' ministry, had similar views: embracing moderate ascetic behavior. Over the next three centuries, however, they moved in opposite directions.

Universalizing Family Policies That Work

by Robert Cherry ...

In the ten years after President Clinton made good on his promise to "end welfare as we know it" by signing the reform act of 1996, the number of families on welfare dropped by over three million. This hotly contested legislation has fueled countless hyperbolic arguments from both sides of the political spectrum rather than a clearheaded examination of the actual results of the reform.
