Few constitutional issues have been as contentious in modern times
as those concerning school prayer and the public funding of
religious schools. But as Steven K. Green surprisingly reveals in
The Bible, the School, and the Constitution, the apogee of this
debate was probably reached about one hundred and forty years ago,
in the years between 1863 and 1876. As Green shows, the controversy
over Bible reading in public schools captured national attention to
an unprecedented degree, providing Americans with the opportunity
to engage in a grand-and sometimes not so grand-public debate over
the meaning of separation of church and state. Rarely in the
nation's history have people from such various walks of
life-Protestants and Catholics, skeptics and theocrats, nativists
and immigrants, educators and politicians-been able to participate
in a national discussion over the meaning of a constitutional
principle. The debates of this period, Green shows, laid the
foundation for constitutional arguments that still rage today.
