Church & State: Lutheran Perspectives

Rating:
Summary: Concerning the meaning of religion in public life
Review: Collaboratively compiled by John R. Stumme (Director of Studies for the Division for Church in Society, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) and Robert W. Tuttle (Associate Professor of Law, George Washington University Law School), Church & State: Lutheran Perspectives collects the investigations, commentaries and analysis of seven experts concerning the meaning of religion in public life in a world with growing religious pluralism and secularism. Legal contexts of church-state interaction; the role of Lutheran social ministry in promoting general welfare; issues of land use regulation; and much, much more comprise the balanced and in-depth discussions that are presented in this very highly recommended contribution to Church/State Studies reading lists and reference collections.
