The life and work of James Dunn is honored in this volume, which
represents a warm, from-the-heart remembrance from the pen of
thirteen people who know him well.
The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
asserts that "Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or
the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
Government for a redress of grievances." The initial statement of
this amendment boldly asserts that religious freedom is the "first
freedom" of the American people. The BJC stands guard, defending
the first freedom of the First Amendment. Brent Walker identifies
the historical and theological principles that undergird freedom of
religion. In doing so, he challenges the myth that religious
freedom and church-state separation are rooted only in the ideas of
the Enlightenment. Religious persons with spiritual convictions
preceded the Enlightenment years, though most Enlightenment leaders
certainly embraced and advocated religious freedom.
