This book furthers dialogue on the separation of church and state
with an approach that emphasizes intellectual history and the
constitutional theory that underlies American society. Mark Douglas
McGarvie explains that the founding fathers of America considered
the right of conscience to be an individual right, to be protected
against governmental interference. While the religion clauses
enunciated this right, its true protection occurred in the creation
of separate public and private spheres. Religion and the churches
were placed in the private sector. Yet, politically active
Christians have intermittently mounted challenges to this
bifurcation in calling for a greater public role for Christian
faith and morality in American society. Both students and scholars
will learn much from this intellectual history of law and religion
that contextualizes a four-hundred-year-old ideological struggle.
