A Secular View Of Religion In The State, And The Bible In The Public Schools (1870) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
""A Secular View Of Religion In The State, And The Bible In The Public Schools"" is a book written by Elisha P. Hurlbut in 1870. The book explores the relationship between religion and the state, as well as the role of the Bible in public schools. Hurlbut presents a secular perspective on these issues, arguing that religion should not be intertwined with government and that public schools should not promote any particular religious beliefs. He also argues that the Bible should not be used as a textbook in public schools, as it is a religious text and not appropriate for a secular education system. Hurlbut's book provides a historical perspective on these issues, as they were debated in the United States during the 19th century. Overall, ""A Secular View Of Religion In The State, And The Bible In The Public Schools"" is an important contribution to the ongoing debate over the role of religion in public life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The writer, in common with many of his fellow citizens, has long looked with apprehension on a foreign religious element, which has assumed large proportions in this country; and he has been desirous that some just and peaceful remedy might be devised, to prevent a national calamity from this source. An intelligent friend, retired from politics, and all public strife, and who had meditated much on the subject, communicated in a letter addressed to the writer, an amendment to the first article of the Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, which will be found in the following pages, on the subject of a foreign hierarchical establishment in this country. The writer, after much reflection, esteemed this proposition of sufficient value to merit public attention, and communicated it by letter to several friends; intending if they approved it, to assign some reasons in its favor, if permitted, in the New York Evening Post; but meant to write anonymously, as he was completely retired from public life, and averse to public notoriety. One letter, however, escaped, and found its way into the paper referred to, with the writers name in full; and thus committed, he felt the more constrained to assign his reasons at length, in support of the proposition.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
