Religion And The State: Or The Bible And The Public Schools is a book written by Samuel Thayer Spear in 1876. The book deals with the issue of the separation of church and state in the United States and specifically focuses on the role of the Bible in public schools. Spear argues that the Bible should be taught in public schools as a moral guide and that its exclusion from the curriculum is detrimental to the education of children. The author also discusses the history of the separation of church and state in America and the various court cases that have shaped the debate. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and education in America and the ongoing debate over the role of religion in public life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
