| Summary: | Contemporary disputes over the relationship between religion and government are no less prone to historical amnesia than are the myriad other contentious issues being battled out in modern society. Indeed, the fog of controversy that enshrouds this particular debate is perhaps thicker and more disorienting than most. Steven Green's The Second Disestablishment endeavors to clear away some of the confusion, providing a substantial legal history of the transformative events in church-state relations in the nineteenth century. Deeming this the “forgotten century” in standard accounts of religious disestablishment in America, Green endeavors to illuminate the developments that occurred between the first disestablishment of the founding period and twentieth-century U.S. Supreme Court decisions. |
