Or does the First Amendment merely ban exclusive aid to one religion, as critics of the Court assert? The First Freedoms studies the church-state context of colonial and revolutionary America to present a bold new reading of the historical meaning of the religion clauses of the First Amendment. Synthesizing and interpreting a wealth of evidence from the founding of Virginia to the passage of the Bill of Rights, including everything published in America before 1791, Thomas Curry traces America's developing ideas on religious liberty and offers the most extensive investigation ever of the historical origins and background of the First Amendment's religion clauses. 606 $aChurch and state$zUnited States$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aChurch and state$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$yTo 1775 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$y19th century 615 0$aChurch and state$xHistory 615 0$aChurch and state$xHistory 676 $a322.10973 700 $aCurry$b Thomas J.$01710549 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825621903321 996 $aThe first freedoms$94101259 997 $aUNINA
