by Jay Sekulow
First published 2006
Religious freedom in America stands at a crossroads. Jay Sekulow examines how Supreme Court rulings have driven the nation to its most divided state regarding faith and public life. He tackles contemporary flashpoints like evolution debates in classrooms, school prayer controversies, Ten Commandments displays, and competing narratives about America's founding. Sekulow builds his case through historical evidence and America's tradition of civil religion and Christian symbols. He traces how legal definitions evolved from recognizing America as a Christian nation to erecting barriers between church and state. Modern court cases continue splitting Americans and generating national controversy. Sekulow warns against removing more threads from society's fabric while defending God's rightful place in the public square.
