The Separation of Church and State: Writings on a Fundamental Freedom by America's Founders

Now in paperback, a primer of essential writings about one of the cornerstones of our democracy by the original authors of the Constitution, edited by preeminant liberal theologian Forrest Church.

Americans will never stop debating the question of church-state separation, and such debates invariably lead back to the nationâ€™s beginnings and the foundersâ€™ intent. The Separation of Church and State presents a basic collection of the foundersâ€™ teachings on this topic. This concise primer gets past the rhetoric that surrounds the current debate, placing the foundersâ€™ vivid writings on religious liberty in historical perspective. Edited and with running commentary by Forrest Church, this important collection informs anyone curious about the original blueprint for our country and its government.
