Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plea for Religious Liberty and the Rights of Conscience: An Argument Delivered in the Supreme Court of the United States, April 28, 1886, in Three Cases of Lorenzo Snow, Plaintiff in Error V. The United States, on Writs of Error to the Supreme Court of Utah Territory Once, may it please your Honors, and once only, in the course of my professional career, I have been counsel in a case in which the life of a human being was at stake. This was in the days of my youth - 46 years ago - when the energies were full, when ambition was high, when applause was sweet, and the desire for success was keen. And now, when I have passed my three score and ten, have arrived at an age when we look backward and not forward, when fame no longer allures and little is left but duty to be discharged because it is duty, I find myself here engaged in a cause which is directly to affect the peace, the welfare, the safety, the religious constitutional rights of thousands of my fellow creatures, and may possibly draw into its consequences the lives of some of them. Bear with me this great responsibility, at least so far as to understand and appreciate the ground? of my apprehension. Bear with me while I separate those considerations and elements which are fit to be entertained by this Court, from those which belong exclusively to the statesman and the legislator.

Book Synopsis Religion on Trial by : Phillip E. Hammond
Download or read book Religion on Trial written by Phillip E. Hammond and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2004-03-23 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The free exercise of conscience is under threat in the United States. Already the conservative bloc of the Supreme Court is reversing the progress of religious liberty that had been steadily advancing. And this danger will only increase if more conservative judges are nominated to the court. This is the impassioned argument of Religion on Trial. Against Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Chief Justice Rehnquist, the authors argue that what the First Amendment protects is the freedom of individual conviction, not the rights of sectarian majorities to inflict their values on others. Beginning with an analysis of the origins of the Constitution and then following the history of significant church-state issues, Religion on Trial shows that the trajectory of American history has been toward greater freedoms for more Americans: freedom of religion moving gradually toward freedom of conscience regardless of religion. But in the last quarter-century, conservatives have gained political power and they are now attempting to limit the ability of the Court to protect the rights of individual conscience. Writing not just as scholars, but as advocates of church-state separation, Hammond, Machacek, and Mazur make the strong case that every American needs to pay attention to what is happening on the Surpeme Court or risk losing the liberties of conscience and religion that have been gained so far.
Book Synopsis A Plea for Religious Liberty (1644) by : Roger Williams
Download or read book A Plea for Religious Liberty (1644) written by Roger Williams and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Williams (ca. 1603-83), religious leader and one of the founders of Rhode Island, was the son of a well-to-do London businessman. Educated at Cambridge (A.B., 1627) he became a clergyman and in 1630 sailed for Massachusetts. He refused a call to the church of Boston because it had not formally broken with the Church of England, but after two invitations he became the assistant pastor, later pastor, of the church at Salem. He questioned the right of the colonists to take the Indians' land from them merely on the legal basis of the royal charter and in other ways ran afoul of the oligarchy then ruling Massachusetts. In 1635 he was found guilty of spreading 'new authority of magistrates' and was ordered to be banished from the colony. He lived briefly with friendly Indians and then, in 1636, founded Providence in what was to be the colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. His religious views led him to become briefly a Baptist, later a Seeker. In 1644, while he was in England getting a charter for his colony from Parliament, he wrote the work from which this dialogue is taken. During much of his later life he was engaged in polemics on political and religious questions. A Plea for Religious Liberty (1644) is his most famous work.

Book Synopsis A Nation Dedicated to Religious Liberty by : Arlin M. Adams
Download or read book A Nation Dedicated to Religious Liberty written by Arlin M. Adams and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-02-23 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a concise overview of the historical development and judicial interpretation of the First Amendment religion clauses. It begins with a survey of the history of American religious liberty, goes on to present the views of the Founding Fathers, and then considers the core value of religious liberty and the constitutional purposes that implement that value. the book ends on a practical note by applying these principles to questions of equal access, religious symbolism in public life, and the task of defining religion for constitutional purposes. As the authors note in their introduction, "the historical principles that animate the religion clauses are more than an abstract intellectual exercise. . . . They provide an essential context for guiding the resolution of modern religious liberty issues."

About the Author Alonzo T Jones (1850-1923) heard the Adventist message while serving in the United States Army in the State of Washington. He began at once to study history as it related to prophecy, a theme of much of his writing of articles and books. This study also prepared him for his activity on the subject of religious liberty. He participated in the hearings of the Blair Sunday bill in 1889 and became editor of "The American Sentinel." Elder Jones was a powerful speaker and one of the strong voices in the revival of 1888 within the Adventist denomination. For a short time he was a Bible teacher at Healdsburg College. From 1897-1901 he was the editor of the Review and Herald, and he served on the staff of the Signs of the Times.

Book Synopsis Religious Liberty in a Pluralistic Society by : Michael S. Ariens
Download or read book Religious Liberty in a Pluralistic Society written by Michael S. Ariens and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 1128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Religious Liberty in a Pluralistic Society offers the same structure and thorough coverage of the law of religious liberty as the first edition, along with a new conceptual framework for approaching the religious liberty jurisprudence of the Supreme Court. The first four chapters offer a history of law and religion in the United States that extends from the framing of the Constitution to the early 1920s. Chapters Six through Thirteen examine the statute and case law governing religious liberty in a variety of settings and areas of law, including education, the workplace, tax, the courtroom, property, and the corporate boardroom. The few pronouncements of the United States Supreme Court in each of these areas serve as the anchors for thorough examination of the law of religious liberty in the state and lower federal courts. Ariens and Destro have reorganized Chapter Five, which examines the Supreme Court's efforts to craft a constitutional law of religious liberty since the 1940s. The new conceptual framework is based on the language and structure of the First Amendment, and is designed to help the reader understand and apply the rules the Court has developed in this important area of constitutional law. New in the notes to Chapter Five are references to comparative and international materials. The materials are updated through 2001, and a number of cases are more tightly edited than in the first edition. A revised teacher's manual with sample course outlines and problems will be available.
