"Church and State in American History illuminates the complex relationships among
the political and religious authority structures of American society, and illustrates
why church-state issues have remained controversial since our nation's founding. It
has been in classroom use for over 50 years. John Wilson and Donald Drakeman explore
the notion of America as "One Nation Under God" by examining the ongoing debate over
the relationship of church and state in the United States. Prayers and religious symbols
in schools and other public spaces, school vouchers and tax support for faith-based
social initiatives continue to be controversial, as are arguments among advocates
of pro-choice and pro-life positions. The updated 4th edition includes selections
from colonial charters, Supreme Court decisions, and federal legislation, along with
contemporary commentary and incisive interpretations by modern scholars. Figures as
divergent as John Winthrop, Anne Hutchinson, James Madison, John F. Kennedy and Sandra
Day O'Connor speak from these pages, as do Robert Bellah, Clarence Thomas and Ruth
Bader Ginsberg. The continuing public and scholarly interest in this field, as well
as a significant evolution in the Supreme Court's church-state jurisprudence, renders
this timely re-edition as essential reading for students of American History, Religion
and Politics"
