Church-state relations are becoming more and more critical.
Deepening controversies over church-state relations, the increasing
religious pluralism of American society, and the changing makeup of
the Supreme Court are forcing a rethinking of approaches to church
and state in the public policy realm. Stephen Monsma offers a new
approach rooted in structural pluralism as a normative way to
understand church-state relations. He suggests that the government
should use a principle of positive neutrality in handling
church-state relations. He integrates historical, theoretical,
social, and legal perspectives and writes in a lively manner for
interdisciplinary audiences of students, scholars, and general
readers. This study provides an historical background of church and
state relations in American society and discusses the development
of church-state theory and practice. The author argues that
confusions today can be traced back to flaws in the
disestablishment settlement of the eighteenth century, flaws which
have come to light in the twentieth century. He looks at this
pluralist society and the concept of positive neutrality and of
religious freedom historically and theoretically and then applies
his approach to current issues relating to national policy and
Supreme Court decision-making.
