In School Prayer, Robert Alley examines the history behind the writing of the religion clauses of the First Amendment, the courts' interpretations of these clauses over two centuries, and the debates in Congress over their application, especially as regards prayer in public schools. Alley begins with an extensive analysis of the writings and actions of James Madison, described as \"the architect of the religion clauses\" and \"the single most important voice for religious liberty in the nation's history.\" Madison is viewed as a proponent of strict separation between church and state and as opposed to any form of state-sponsored religious establishment. Alley then discusses the history of the \"protestant hegemony\" in the nineteenth century and the attitude of messianism as reflected in presidential pronouncements on the relation of religion to government. All this is presented as background to the debates in the latter half of our own century over the role of prayer in public schools. Alley reviews some thirty years of congressional testimony and key Supreme Court decisions. He gives special attention to the highly controversial Engel v. Vitale decision in 1962, which banned the recitation of a prayer composed by the New York State Board of Regents in public schools. This decision unleashed a storm of protests, which has continued to this day and has given rise to numerous congressional proposals to amend or overturn the Court's ruling. Extensive selections from the arguments on both sides of the controversy afford the reader a firsthand look into the many deliberations surrounding this sensitive and timely matter.\n\nPublished in: Buffalo, N.Y.\n\nPhysical description: 273 pages ; 24 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Secret choices : personal decisions that affect your marriage \/ Ed Wheat and Gloria Okes Perkins.","author":"Wheat, Ed.","isbn":"0310425018","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Mich. : Zondervan"},"datePublished":"1989","inLanguage":"English","description":"Harnessing the power -- Who's at the controls? -- Consulting the marriage map -- Distance or intimacy -- Neglect or nurturing -- Indifference or loving -- In conflict: choices that make you a winning team -- Power struggles: the secret war -- Confusion or order: a master plan -- Strategies for your master plan -- The way to financial freedom -- In-laws and other challenges -- If you'd like to change -- The alpha and omega choice -- How to use the power of your secret choices: twenty steps toward a wonderful marriage.\n\nPublished in: Grand Rapids, Mich.\n\nPhysical description: 219 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Settling disputes : conflict resolution in business, families, and the legal system \/ Linda R.

On the other hand some preachers will preach from the Old Testament frequently but fail to 'handle' it correctly, turning it into mor- alistic rules or symbolic lessons for our spiritual life. In this book, Christopher J.H. Wright proclaims that preachers must not ignore the Old Testament. It is the Word of God The Old Testament lays the foundation for our faith and it was the Bible that Jesus read and used. Looking first at why we should preach from the Old Testament, the author moves on to show the reader how they can preach from it. Covering the History, Law, Prophets, Psalms and Wisdom Literature, interspersed with practical checklists, exercises and sermons, the reader is provided with an essential guide on how to handle from the Old Testament correctly.\n\nPublished in: Carlisle\n\nPhysical description: 266 pages ; 23 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}}]}
