Publisher's Synopsis
The Clergy: A Source of Danger to the American Republic is a book written by William F. Jamieson and published in 1871. The book discusses the role of the clergy in American society and argues that they pose a threat to the principles of democracy and the separation of church and state. Jamieson contends that the clergy's influence over their congregations can be used to sway political opinions and undermine the democratic process. He also criticizes the tax-exempt status of churches, which he believes gives them an unfair advantage in the political arena. The book is a provocative critique of the role of religion in American politics and society, and remains relevant today in debates over the separation of church and state.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
