"The Sacred Rights of Conscience "provides students and scholars a
rich collection of primary sources that illuminate the discussions
and debates about religious liberty in the American founding era.
This compilation of primary documents provides a thorough and
balanced examination of the evolving relationship between public
religion and American culture, from pre-colonial biblical and
European sources to the early nineteenth century, to allow the
reader to explore the social and political forces that defined the
concept of religious liberty and shaped American church-state
relations.
Including material that has been previously unavailable or hard to
find, "The Sacred Rights of Conscience" contains original documents
from both public and private papers, such as constitutions,
statutes, legislative resolutions, speeches, sermons, newspapers,
letters, and diary entries. These documents provide a vivid
reminder that religion was a dynamic factor in shaping American
social, legal, and political culture and that there has been a
struggle since the inception of the Republic to define the
prudential and constitutional role of religion in public culture.
Daniel L. Dreisbach is William E. Simon Fellow in Religion and
Public Life for the James Madison Program in American Ideals and
Institutions at Princeton University and professor in the School of
Public Affairs at American University in Washington, D.C.
Mark David Hall is Herbert Hoover Distinguished Professor of
Political Science at George Fox University.
