Separation of Church and State
Book • 2009
Philip Hamburger's "Separation of Church and State" offers a revisionist interpretation of the historical development of the relationship between church and state in America.
Hamburger challenges the widely held belief that the separation of church and state has always been a fundamental principle of American constitutionalism.
He argues that the concept of separation has been significantly misinterpreted and misused over time, leading to a distortion of the original intent of the First Amendment.
The book provides a detailed historical analysis of legal precedents and constitutional interpretations, demonstrating how the concept of separation has evolved and been applied in different contexts.
Hamburger's work has sparked considerable debate among legal scholars and historians, prompting a re-examination of the historical and legal foundations of church-state relations in the United States.
His analysis offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion about the role of religion in public life.
