Public Policy and the Common Good
Although the common good, particularly from a theological perspective, entails dimensions of life beyond the ken of the social sciences, public policy analysis has much to contribute to a religious assessment of and recommendations for achieving the common good. It can provide an empirical complement to theological understandings of human flourishing by examining how people behave and articulate their aspirations and values. It provides both data…
Social Conscience and Politics in the United States of America: Reflections
This article argues that the United States of America is quite different from other OECD countries in its religiosity (America is much more religious) and also in its public safety nets, which are considerably less generous and comprehensive than those of Europe. There are some institutional and ideological patterns in American religion that perhaps underlie both these tendencies. Patterns of religious life and practice in America may be part of …
Christianity and American Democracy
Christianity, not religion in general, has been important for American democracy. With this bold thesis, Heclo offers a panoramic view of how Christianity and democracy have shaped each other over the years, and how their relationship is changing in the present day. Responding to his challenging argument, Mary Jo Bane, Michael Kazin, and Alan Wolfe criticize, qualify, and amend it. The result is a lively debate about a momentous tension in Americ…
Christianity and American Democracy (The Alexis de Tocqueville Lectures on American Politics)
Taking Faith Seriously
Whether simply uneasy or downright hostile, the relation between religion and liberal democracy in this country has long been vexed and complex--and crucial to what America is and aspires to be. Amid increasingly contentious exchanges over fundamentalism, abortion rights, secularism, and pluralism, this book reminds us of the critical role that religion plays in the health and well-being of a democracy
Lifting up the poor: A dialogue on religion, poverty, and welfare reform
People who participate in debates about causes and cures of poverty often speak from religious conviction. But those convictions are rarely made explicit or debated on their own terms. Rarely is influence of personal religious commitment on policy decisions examined. Two of nation's foremost scholars and policy advocates break mold in this lively volume, first to be published in new Pew Forum Dialogues on Religion and Public Life. The authors bri…

Slipping into and out of Poverty: The Dynamics of Spells
This paper examines the dynamics of poverty. Previous analyses of the dynamics of poverty have either examined only fluctuations in the male heads earnings or looked at the frequency of poverty periods over a fixed time frame. We argue that a more appropriate way to understand the dynamics of poverty is to define spells of poverty. Using this methodology we find that the majority of poor persons at any point in time are in fact in the midst of a …

Marital Disruption and the Lives of Children
This article uses survey data on marital history and divorce statistics to estimate the proportion of children affected by marital disruption. Over the century, about 25–30% of all children experienced a marital disruption; in the next few decades, perhaps 40% of all children will be affected. These large numbers raise questions about how best to meet the special needs of the affected children. A review of the literature suggests that opposition …
