Description

The first book to concentrate on Pennsylvania’s contribution to religious liberty in America from the time of William Penn to the present day. Frost has written a comprehensive, scholarly volume tracing the changes from the time of Penn to the Civil War period, with an epilogue that describes the creation of a new approach to religious liberty by the federal courts in the years since World War II. This book is the story of an important Pennsylvania reform movement that came to characterize the American experiment in democracy: religious liberty, or, the separation of church & state. Pennsylvania created a distinctive pattern of religious liberty before 1720 that endured with minor changes until the mid-20th century. Illustrations.
