This book colourfully examines a famous Jeffersonian document which
set the precedent for the US Constitution's guarantee of religious
liberty. Jefferson wrote the Virginia Statute, shepherded it
through a decade-long struggle to adoption, and included it in his
epitaph (along with the Declaration of Independence and the
founding of the University of Virginia). The Statute's history
reflects two key revolutionary principles: absolute freedom of
religious conscience; and the separation of church and state. Both
principles remain lively topics of debate on the contemporary
religious and political scene. Papers collected here were presented
at a conference sponsored by the National Endowment for the
Humanities and the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and
Public Policy. Among the contributors are several of America's most
prominent religious and political historians and experts on
jurisprudence.
