Présentation de l'éditeur

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 powerful retelling of the birth of the American body politic, religious historian Forrest Church describes our first great culture war?a tumultuous yet nearly forgotten conflict that raged from George Washington?s presidency to James Monroe?s. On one side of the battle, the proponents of order?Federalists, Congregationalists, New Englanders?believed that the only legitimate ruler of men is God. On the other side, the defenders of liberty?republicans, Baptists, Virginians?cheered the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, and believed that only the separation of church and state would preserve man?s freedom. Would we be a nation under God, or with liberty for all?

In this vigorous history, Forrest Church offers a new vision of our earliest presidents? beliefs, reshaping assumptions about the debates that still reverberate across our land.
