Church and State in American History illuminates the complex
relationships among the political and religious authority
structures of American society, and illustrates why church-state
issues have remained controversial since our nation's founding. It
has been in classroom use for over 50 years. John Wilson and Donald
Drakeman explore the notion of America as "One Nation Under God" by
examining the ongoing debate over the relationship of church and
state in the United States. Prayers and religious symbols in
schools and other public spaces, school vouchers and tax support
for faith-based social initiatives continue to be controversial, as
are arguments among advocates of pro-choice and pro-life positions.
The updated 4th edition includes selections from colonial charters,
Supreme Court decisions, and federal legislation, along with
contemporary commentary and incisive interpretations by modern
scholars. Figures as divergent as John Winthrop, Anne Hutchinson,
James Madison, John F. Kennedy, and Sandra Day O'Connor speak from
these pages, as do Robert Bellah, Clarence Thomas, and Ruth Bader
Ginsberg. The continuing public and scholarly interest in this
field, as well as a significant evolution in the Supreme Court's
church-state jurisprudence, renders this timely re-edition as
essential reading for students of law, American History, Religion,
and Politics.
