Bush gained reelection by wooing religiously devout \"values voters,\" it was clear that church-state matters in the United States had reached a crisis. With\u003ci\u003e Divided by God\u003c\/i\u003e, Noah Feldman shows that the crisis is as old as this country--and looks to our nation's past to show how it might be resolved. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday more than ever, ours is a religiously diverse society: Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist as well as Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish. And yet more than ever, committed Christians are making themselves felt in politics and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat are the implications of this paradox? To answer this question, Feldman makes clear that again and again in our nation's history diversity has forced us to redraw the lines in the church-state divide. In vivid, dramatic chapters, he describes how we as a people have resolved conflicts over the Bible, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the teaching of evolution through appeals to shared values of liberty, equality, and freedom of conscience. And he proposes a brilliant solution to our current crisis, one that honors our religious diversity while respecting the long-held conviction that religion and state should not mix. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDivided by God\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to the headlines, even as it tells the story of a long-running conflict that has made the American people who we are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374530389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.14h x 5.94w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/20\/2006 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Noah Feldman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636657385628,"sku":"9780374530389","price":20.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7b1e54f9-1a99-4b75-b094-989bdd7ebcb2.jpg?v=1603842559","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/divided-by-god-americas-church-state-problem-and-what-we-should-do-about-it-9780374530389","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
