"...the very existence of a collection of this breadth with this sort of documentation is so remarkable that it seems wrong to criticize it. It is an excellent idea well executed." Ruth Sample, Philosophy in Review

True Meaning of Separation of Church and State,
By
This review is from: Locke: Political Essays (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought) (Paperback)
Want to know how perverted the meaning of the term "separation of church and state..." has become, it's in this book. John Locke's poignant philosophical explanations of the inter-relation between natural and civil law,the limits of church and government authority and more, written in the 17th century are a refreshing rather than antiquated reminder of what "good governance" really means to a free people.
