An Introduction to the Special Issue: History of Christianity: The Relationship between Church and State
Religion remains omnipresent
Colonial Counterfactuals, the American Separationist Mindset, and Open-Minded Discourse on the Establishment Clause
This work first develops the idea of an American Separationist Mindset-a deeply rooted and often unthinking supposition that the strict separation of church and state is the only defensible church-state arrangement under the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution. Such a Mindset can make arguments for religious accommodationism difficult to be assessed openmindedly in contemporary constitutional discourse. The essay next surveys t…
Restoring Community and Covenant in the 21st Century: The History and Potential Revival of Coventism in the Era of the 'Global Village
This article offers a rationale for research and engagement on conceptions of 'community' in the twenty-first century in the context of changing conceptions of relationality through the impact of secularisation, social media, and online gaming. It highlights the growing concerns and healthcare outcomes of isolation in the context of shifting perceptions of 'community' as the basis for a re-examination of the value of 'covenant' as 'communities of…
Coping with Defeat: Sunni Islam, Roman Catholicism, and the Modern State. By Jonathan Laurence
Jonathan Laurence’s book is scholarship of the first water. The breadth and depth of the work are highly praiseworthy even as its central contentions are open to serious debate. He first argues that Catholicism has harbored conceptions of a nexus between faith and state power—especially in the Papal States—that are similar to those found in Sunni Islam; and that the latter at times has harbored conceptions of religious hierarchy—especially in the…
Separation of Church and State, American Exceptionalism, and the Contemporary Social Moment: Viewing Church-State Separation from the Priority of Slavery
The contemporary social moment in the United States has affirmed the critical importance of racial justice, and especially claims to justice informed by the contributions of structural and institutional forces connected with the nation's original sin of slavery. In this paper, I examine the contributions of strict church-state separationism to the maintenance of slavery in the antebellum South in comparison to the contributions various forms of r…
Security, Religion, and Political Culture: A Defense of Weak Disestablishment
Many, especially in the West, have long argued against state religious establishments on the ethical grounds of the rights of freedom of conscience and personal autonomy. Situating the question of religious establishment within the field of Religion and Security-an important and growing aspect of the Religious Studies discipline-allows for new interpretive possibilities. This paper explores the impact of religious disestablishment on the state's …
Taking Liberties: Why Religious Freedom Doesn't Give You the Right to Tell Other People What to Do.By Robert Boston
In this new work Robert Boston of Americans United for Separation of Church and State provides a polemic against the so-called religious right. It’s a book, on first blush, rather easily dismissed: on first reading one could be forgiven for seeing in this short work very little that could contribute to a serious discussion of that very serious question of religion’s place in American public life. A closer reading, however, reveals this book to be…
Vengeance and Virtue in Contemporary Criminal Justice
This work analyzes changes to criminal procedure that express calls for revenge. It specifically addresses the role of the victims' rights movement in supporting changes to the rules of evidence, and especially the rules concerning character evidence. Recent changes have relaxed the prohibition on character evidence and have increased the importance of judicial discretion. Against recent calls to restrict discretion by reinstating a form of legal…
