Wall of Misconception

This goes in the "must read" section of every Patriot library. It is well written, uniquely and cogently laid out, and well supported contextually, and with myriad sources. Surely an under-rated and under-appreciated work, and a well kept secret. I highly recommend it. If you ever wanted a well stated argument about the "wall of separation" being there to protect the church from the government, instead of the other way around, this is it.

Lillback provides a good overview for those wanting to understand the historical context of the "wall of separation." It's a quick read with direct source material included to support his positions. I wouldn't expect a conversion for those who assume the contemporary understanding [of separation of church and state] is consistent with the original intent, but at least they might gain some insights into how us old dinosaurs came up with opinions so different than what is being taught in the schools. I have now ordered "Moral Minority: Our Skeptical Founding Fathers" to read a different point of view.
