Separation of Church & State: What the Founders Meant
This book provides a simple and much-needed analysis of one of the most often used and widely misunderstood phrases in American history. Discover the Founding Fathers' views on the positive influence of religious values on public policy as well as the background behind Thomas Jefferson's famous 1802 letter employing the "separation of church and state" phrase. Significantly, for more than a century and a half after its introduction, courts correctly interpreted Jefferson's phrase as a mandate to protect Christian expressions in the public square, and only in recent years has the phrase been remade into a judicially-enforced policy of public secularism. This book offers an engaging and easy to read overview of one of the greatest public policy debates in contemporary America..
