“A well timed, well-written and scholarly polemic for the separation of church and state.”–Bernard Crick, The New Statesman

The authors, each distinguished students, revisit the historic roots of American spiritual freedom, paying explicit consideration to such figures as John Locke, Roger Williams, and particularly Thomas Jefferson, and study the controversies, as much as the current day, over the right place of faith in our political life. With a brand new chapter that explores the function of faith within the public lifetime of George W. Bush’s America,
The Godless Structure affords a bracing return to the primary rules of American governance.
