God in Freedom: Studies in the Relations Between Church and State

1930. The work is thought to be the most valuable and comprehensive book heretofore published on the history of religious liberty. The erudition and versatility of the author are remarkable. He includes sketches of champions of religious liberty who lived in the Far East long before the beginning of the Christian era, and his narrative embraces the movements for the separation of church and state in our own day in France, Scotland, Wales and Geneva. Distinguished leaders in this cause who lived in India, Persia, China, Japan, and the Ottoman Empire are fully treated, as also early Church Fathers to say nothing of General Bolivar in Bolivia, and great exponents in Europe and the United States. Partial Contents: Precursors and Apostles of Religious Freedom; New Juridical and Moral Problems of Religious Freedom; Religious Freedom and the Law of Guarantees; Science and Faith in Freedom; Voices Far and Near from India in Regard to Sacred Writings; St. Francis of Assisi; Miscellany; Constitutional Studies: Threats Against the Law of Guarantees and the Defense of Its Inviolability; and The Defense of a People Persecuted in all the Millenniums of Its History.
