- Synopsis
- [From the book jacket] Americans will never stop debating the question of church-state separation. Courts across the country perpetually hear cases on religion's place in our schools, civic government, and society at large. Such debates lead us back to the nation's beginnings and the founders' intent. The Separation of Church and State presents, for the first time, a basic collection of the founders' teachings on this topic. Readers can see for themselves why George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison-together with leading evangelical Christians of the day-believed passionately in church-state separation. This concise primer gets past the rhetoric that surrounds the current debate, placing the founders' vivid writings on religious liberty in historical perspective.
