No American living in 1800 would have predicted that Thomas Jefferson's idiosyncratic views on church and state would ever eclipse those of George Washington; let alone become constitutional dogma. Yet today's Supreme Court guards no doctrine more fiercely than Jefferson's antagonistic wall of separation between church and state. Washington's sharply contrasting views; explored in this path-breaking book; suggest a more reasonable interpretation of the First Amendment; one that is consistent with religion's importance to the enterprise of democracy.
