AB When I make presentations on church-state relations, usually to church groups, I am frequently asked, given that I am a Christian and an ordained minister, why I argue so strenuously for the separation of church and state. Now, in addition to my personal answer, I can refer this book to those for whom being a Christian and a separationist “does not compute.”, I have no idea whether Dennis Goldford, a professor of politics at Drake University, is a Christian or not; he is appropriately silent about his own religious sensibilities. But, as a constitutional theorist, he has written a convincing apology for the strict separationist interpretation of the religion clauses of the First Amendment that supports the kind of testimony to which I referred.
