Beyond the Separation of Church and State in America
Social Science Research Network, 2014Co-Authors: John Witte, Justin LatterellAbstract:This Essay analyzes the convergence of secularization theory and separation of Church and State logic in mid-20th century American law and culture. It also shows that First Amendment law has moved beyond this separationist logic in recent opinions, and suggests a new integrative theory of religion, culture, and politics in its support.

The Shifting Walls of Separation between Church and State in the United States
Social Science Research Network, 2013Co-Authors: John WitteAbstract:This article analyses five distinct understandings of separation of Church and State in the American founding era of 1776-1812 and the continued influence and manifestations of each of these five understandings in current American constitutional law. The last section argues that separation of Church and State is a valuable constitutional ideal, so long as it is used prudentially not categorically, and so long as it remains balanced with other founding principles of religious freedom.

Facts and Fictions About the History of Separation of Church and State
Journal of Church and State, 2006Co-Authors: John WitteAbstract:Responding to several new histories of Church and State in America, this article warns against the emerging view that separation of Church and State is a distinctly American and relatively modern invention that has been used principally to harm religion and religious freedom. The article traces the historical roots and routes of the principle of separation of Church and State in biblical, patristic, Catholic, Protestant, and Enlightenment sources. It then shows how the eighteenth-century American founders used this principle to press five religious liberty concerns: protection of the State from the Church; protection of the Church from the State; protection of liberty of conscience from both Church and State; protection of the new States from the federal government in their treatment of religion; and protection of citizens from unwelcome support and participation in religion. Finally, the article analyses the uses and misuses of this principle in the later history of American law.

spheres of sovereignty Church autonomy doctrine and the theological heritage of the separation of Church and State
Social Science Research Network, 2009Co-Authors: Robert Joseph Renaud, Lael Daniel WeinbergerAbstract:This article begins by examining the theological underpinnings of the concept of separation of Church and State. Second, it proceeds to review the Church-history context in which this theology was developed. It focuses especially on the Protestant Reformation’s concept of independent jurisdictions of Church and State, and how that perspective influenced the American view of Church and State. Finally, it suggests that the historic theological position on the jurisdictional separation of Church and State is reflected today in the Church autonomy cases.
