<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A brilliant and urgent appraisal of one of the most profound conflicts of our time</b> <p/>Even before George W. Bush gained reelection by wooing religiously devout values voters, it was clear that church-state matters in the United States had reached a crisis. With<i> Divided by God</i>, Noah Feldman shows that the crisis is as old as this country--and looks to our nation's past to show how it might be resolved. <p/>Today more than ever, ours is a religiously diverse society: Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist as well as Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish. And yet more than ever, committed Christians are making themselves felt in politics and culture. <p/>What are the implications of this paradox? To answer this question, Feldman makes clear that again and again in our nation's history diversity has forced us to redraw the lines in the church-state divide. In vivid, dramatic chapters, he describes how we as a people have resolved conflicts over the Bible, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the teaching of evolution through appeals to shared values of liberty, equality, and freedom of conscience. And he proposes a brilliant solution to our current crisis, one that honors our religious diversity while respecting the long-held conviction that religion and state should not mix. <p/><i>Divided by God</i> speaks to the headlines, even as it tells the story of a long-running conflict that has made the American people who we are.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A reasoned, reasonable and consensus-seeking argument that is, of course, in danger of going unheard amid all the shouting. - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Noah Feldman</b>, who teaches law at New York University, is the author of <i>After Jihad</i> and <i>What We Owe Iraq</i>.
