Book Reviews of Thomas Jefferson and the Wall of Separation Between Church and State (Critical America)
Book Review: The 'wall' metaphor - Its origin, historical context, and contemporary usage
Summary: 5 Stars
Dreisbach offers a fascinating analysis of the much debated 'wall' metaphor as it relates to the 'Separation of Church and State.' He skillfully traces how a metaphor has become a defining feature of constitutional jurisprudence, greatly influencing church state relations, political philosophy, and American law. He calmly recommends a reappraisal of Jefferson's metaphor.
Even a strict separationist would benefit from his careful and well-documented study.
