| Summary: | Professor Steven K. Green has written a valuable and comprehensive work of history around the highly contested phrase "separation of church and state." Charting the legal, political, and cultural history of the phrase beginning with its historical antecedents in the medieval period up until its decline as a legal principle in the contemporary period, Green makes the following claims: first, the idea of separationism as a model for church-state relationships has always had a strong historical pedigree; second, the popularity and cultural traction of the phrase was not simply due to anti-Catholicism or anti-Mormonism; and finally, the wall metaphor was not essential to the holding of the Supreme Court opinion in Everson v. Board of Education in 1947. |
