Der heutige Streit über die Linie zwischen Kirche und Staat (oder dessen fehlt) ist weder die erste noch die stärkste in unserer Geschichte. In einer mächtigen Nacherzählung der Geburt der amerikanischen Körperpolitik beschreibt der religiöse Historiker Forrest Church unseren ersten großen Kulturkrieg – ein tumultuöser, aber fast vergessener Konflikt, der von George Washington zur Präsidenz von James Monroes wuchs. Auf einer Seite des Kampfes glaubten die Vertreiber der Ordnung – Federalisten, Kongregationalisten, New Englander – dass der einzige legitime Herrscher der Männer Gott ist. Auf der anderen Seite haben die Verteidiger der Freiheit – Republikaner, Taufer, Virginer – die Erleuchtung und die französische Revolution gefeiert und glaubten, dass nur die Trennung von Kirche und Staat die Freiheit des Menschen bewahren würde. Wäre wir eine Nation unter Gott oder mit Freiheit für alle? In dieser dynamischen Geschichte bietet Forrest Church eine neue Vision der Überzeugungen unserer frühesten Präsidenten und gibt Annahmen über die Debatten, die noch in unserem Land nachhall.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Today's dispute over the line between church and state (or the lack thereof) is neither the first nor the fiercest in our history. In a revelatory look at our nation's birth, Forrest Church re-creates our first great culture war--a tumultuous, nearly forgotten conflict that raged from George Washington's presidency to James Monroe's. Religion was the most divisive issue in the nation's early presidential elections. Battles raged over numerous issues while the bible and the Declaration of Independence competed for American affections. The religous political wars reached a vicious peak during the War of 1812; the American victory drove New England's Christian right to withdraw from electoral politics, thereby shaping our modern sense of church-state separation. No longer entangled, both church and state flourished.Forrest Church has written a rich, page-turning history, a new vision of our earliest presidents' beliefs that stands as a reminder and a warning for America today.
