Todays 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 nations birth, Forrest Church re-creates our first great culture wara tumultuous, nearly forgotten conflict that raged from George Washingtons presidency to James Monroes. Religion was the most divisive issue in the nations early presidential elections.Battles raged over numerous issues while the bible and the Declaration of Independence competed for Americanaffections.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.
