Civil Government and Religion: Or Christianity and the American Constitution is a book written by Alonzo T. Jones and originally published in 1889. The book explores the relationship between civil government and religion, specifically Christianity, in the context of the American Constitution. Jones argues that the Constitution was founded on Christian principles and that the separation of church and state does not mean the exclusion of religion from government. He delves into the history of the Constitution and the influence of Christianity on the founding fathers, as well as the role of religion in American society. The book also addresses the issue of religious liberty and the rights of individuals to practice their faith in the public sphere. Overall, Civil Government and Religion provides a comprehensive analysis of the intersection of Christianity and government in America, making it a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history and politics of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
