Today's dispute over the line between church and state (or the lack
thereof) is neither the first nor the fiercest in our history. In a
revelatory look at our nation's birth, Forrest Church re-creates
our first great culture war--a tumultuous, nearly forgotten
conflict that raged from George Washington's presidency to James
Monroe's.
Religion was the most divisive issue in the nation's early
presidential elections. Battles raged over numerous issues while
the bible and the Declaration of Independence competed for American
affections. The religous political wars reached a vicious peak
during the War of 1812; the American victory drove New England's
Christian right to withdraw from electoral politics, thereby
shaping our modern sense of church-state separation. No longer
entangled, both church and state flourished.
Forrest Church has written a rich, page-turning history, a new
vision of our earliest presidents' beliefs that stands as a
reminder and a warning for America today.
