In today's discussions of church, state, and the American way of life, the serious real differences that divided the religious settlers of this country are frequently overlooked. This book offers readers a survey of the often uneasy relationship between religion and public policy dating from the colonial period to the present. This thought-provoking study will be of interest to policymakers, lawyers and legal historians, and all those concerned with the future of public policy in the United States.
