Publisher's Synopsis
Written by a former federal prosecutor and professor of Constitutional law, this book takes readers through the history of the writing of the First Amendment religion clauses and explains how the courts have interpreted those clauses throughout the decades. While many Christians have been quick to condemn the courts for maintaining a "wall of separation between Church and State," it is a wall which was created as much for the protection of the Church as for the government of a free people. Janet Ruth argues that it is the role of the Church, and not the government, to pray for our children and schools, to remind people to trust in God, and to be a light in a dark world. Most importantly, it is our role to share the gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus, and not to rely on moral laws or religious ceremony to change our world.
