About this Item

Print on Demand. This book explores the evolving relationship between church and state in the United States, focusing on the separation of powers between the two entities. Originally a nation founded on Christian principles, the author claims that the American system was designed to maintain religious freedom and equality through the complete separation of church and state. Despite this, the author contends that remnants of Protestant state religion persist, which encourages inequitable treatment of non-Christian religions and institutions. The author argues that to ensure true religious liberty and justice for all, a complete and unwavering separation of church and state must be implemented, removing all vestiges of favoritism toward any particular religion. The book delves into the historical, legal, and social implications of this topic, presenting a compelling case for the preservation of a secular state as the foundation of a just and inclusive society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Discover how holy, united faith can shape families, schools, and national life.

This book argues for a Coming Church that embodies the Church’s true unity and holiness, and it calls readers to see the family, education, and society as part of God’s grand design.

In these pages, the author explores the purpose of the family, the rights of the state to educate, and the church’s part in forming character. It discusses how Sunday School and public schooling fit into a larger vision for spiritual formation, and it contrasts common debates about education with a faith-centered approach to shaping future generations.

• Learn why the Holy Catholic Church is described as the living core of Christian unity.
• See how family life, schooling, and church life can work together toward a common goal.
• Consider the responsibilities of ministry, parents, and the state in educating children for God and for society.
• Reflect on the tension between individual faith and communal worship in building a resilient community.

Ideal for readers of church history, Christian education, and those interested in how faith can guide families and public life.
