The Religious Roots of the First Amendment

- Dissenting Protestants and the Separation of Church and State

av Nicholas P. (Director of the Andrews University International Religious Liberty Institute and Associate Professor of Church History Miller
The Religious Roots of the First Amendment av Nicholas P. (Director of the Andrews University International Religious Liberty Institute and Associate Professor of Church History Miller
Om The Religious Roots of the First Amendment

Traditional understandings of the genesis of the separation of church and state rest on assumptions about 'Enlightenment' and the republican ethos of citizenship. Nicholas Miller does not seek to dislodge that interpretation but to augment and enrich it by recovering its cultural and discursive religious contexts - specifically the discourse of Protestant dissent. He argues that commitments by certain dissenting Protestants to the right of private judgment in matters of Biblical interpretation, an outgrowth of the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers, helped promote religious disestablishment in the early modern West.

He argues that commitments by certain dissenting Protestants to the right of private judgment in matters
of Biblical interpretation, an outgrowth of the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers, helped promote religious disestablishment in the early modern West.
