Much of the credit goes to a public-health campaign begun in 1994 under the slogan Back to Sleep. But not everyone has got the message. Those who are still more likely to place their infants on their stomachs include mothers ages 20 to 29, African Americans in the inner city and families who live in Middle Atlantic or Southern states.

In the short run its consequences included his excommunication by a furious church, much of whose power derived from "works"; and the formalization of additional grievances by Catholic and Protestant sides into anathemas, or catalogs of heresies. In the long run differences over justification can be seen as shaping the subsequent divided character of Western Christianity: Catholicism's continuing emphases on hierarchy, communalism and good works, and Protestantism's intense individualism...
