Documentary History of the Struggle for Religious Liberty in Virginia.

Above all other controversial topics in America is the controversy of the “Separation of Church and State.” On the one side there should be no influence of the church on the government; yet on the other is the rich history of the freedoms that have endowed men and women because of the influence of the church on the government. Documentary History of the Struggle for Religious Liberty in Virginia, by Charles F. James D. D., is for all “true lovers of liberty, both civil and religious, and to all seekers after the truth of history.” The book documents the struggle for religious liberty in Virginia from the time before the Revolution through the intolerance period then into the toleration of “certain” religions. The book puts into chronological order, with various letters from men like Madison and Jefferson, the steps and struggles’ religious freedom endured in Virginia, which ultimately was placed in the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
