Description

No American living in 1800 would have predicted that Thomas Jefferson’s idiosyncratic views on church and state would ever eclipse the ones of George Washington, let by myself turn out to be constitutional dogma. Yet nowadays’s Supreme Court guards no doctrine more fiercely than Jefferson’s antagonistic wall of separation between church and state. Washington’s sharply contrasting views, explored on this trail-breaking book, recommend a more reasonable interpretation of the First Amendment, one that may be in keeping with religion’s importance to the endeavor of democracy.
