Rethinking US education policy: Paradigms of the knowledge economy
Rethinking US education policy: paradigms of the knowledge economy." Journal of Education Policy, 34(3), pp. 446–447
Top-Down Religion and the Design of Post-World War Ii American Pluralism
Academics are falsely rumored to have a low regard for religion. Although Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, authors of The God Delusion and God Is Not Great , respectively, made atheism a best-selling subject in the United States, it is not coincidental that Hitchens and Dawkins are English. They were educated in a country where a strident antipathy toward religion is not unpatriotic. American atheists with as much brass are rare. Kicking…

Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2010. xi + 270 pp. Notes and index. $27.50.

We are not done with racial categories, but the meanings we attach to them are historical and cu…
Common Principles, Different Histories: Understanding Religious Liberty in the United States and France
In her book Liberty of Conscience: In Defense of America's Tradition of Religious Equality (New York: Basic Books, 2008) the American philosopher Martha Nussbaum joins a chorus of American intellectuals who have criticized France and other European nations for their failure to embrace the concept of cultural pluralism. In Nussbaum's opinion, the meaning that the French attach to egalité has remained stuck in circumstances peculiar to the eighteen…

Charting the Circuitous Route Toward Religious Liberty
Arguably, with respect to religious practice, the United States Constitution sought to metamorphose what had been restricted practices of religious toleration into what we more commonly and with more generous spirit call religious tolerance. The provisions of toleration laws, making legal concessions under the aegis of an official religion, were better than burning heretics at the stake, a practice that after the bloody Thirty Years War in Europe…

The American Century in Europe
The notion of an American Century has fallen out of favor in recent years—historians prefer to focus on the United States as part of a transatlantic community. The contributors to this volume edited by R. Laurence Moore and Maurizio Vaudagna seek to understand how the exercise of American power was in crucial ways shaped and limited by the historic ties of the United States to Europe. They evaluate the impact of the "American Century" (as publish…

History and the Christian Historian
This volume arises out of special concerns of historians who are also Christians. What case can be made for connecting historical work and religious convictions? What is the relation of faith to history? What difference could Christian perspectives make in historical study? Thirteen respected scholars - including some who have changed the face of history writing in the twentieth century - here take up a diversity of subjects in giving a provision…

The Role of Religion in Public Life
The Baptists, the Bureau, and the Case of the Missing Lines
OME important matters are not in dispute. Often outspokenly anticlerS ical, Jefferson was not himself a godless man. He attended church services in Washington and Charlottesville and contributed money frequently to Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Baptist churches. He talked and wrote about his personal religious beliefs and was far from being the impious atheist and infidel depicted by his detractors. He believed fervently in the one God who had cre…
What Children Did Not Learn in School: The Intellectual Quickening of Young Americans in the Nineteenth Century
Thomas Jefferson belonged to a generation of common-sense rationalists who hoped that religious tolerance in the United States would put an end to religious quarreling. Once freed to practice religion as they pleased, adult citizens, Jefferson thought, would recognize the moral advantages of nondogmatic creeds and treat religion as a philosophical inquiry based not on Scripture but on what was selfevidently true. Religion, a subject for mature mi…

The Godless Constitution is an urgent and timely reexamination of the roots of church-state separation in American politics - and a ringing refutation of the misguided claims of the right.
