When it was ratified in 1791, the First Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States sought to protect against two
distinct types of government actions that interfere with religious
liberty: the establishment of a national religion and interference
with individual rights to practice religion. Since that time, no
question has so bedeviled the U.S. Supreme Court as finding the
best way to interpret and apply the Establishment Clause and the
Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. In this unique and
timely book, Jay Sekulow examines not only the key cases and their
historical context that have shaped the law concerning church-state
relations, but also, for the first time, the impact of the
religious faith and practices of Supreme Court Justices who have
ruled in each case. Covering cases from the teaching of religion in
public schools and the use of federal funds for parochial schools
to today's debates about the Pledge of Allegiance and public
displays of the Ten Commandments, Witnessing Their Faith is
essential reading for anyone interested in the history and future
of religious freedom in America.
