Product Description
This transcript of the video by the same title is designed as a tool to demonstrate that the current separation of church and state is something never intended by the Founding Fathers. It not only surveys the historical statements and records surrounding the original drafting of the First Amendment, but also shows what happened statistically when the 1962 Court rejected the Founders' intent. It further shows that the current Court is beginning to return to and uphold many values previously struck down. This transcript gives an overview of the Founders' own understanding of the First Amendment and will be helpful to anyone who desires to know the truth about their interpretations.

About the Author
David Barton is President of WallBuilders, an organization dedicated to the restoration of the values upon which America was built and which, in recent years, have been seriously attacked and undermined. As so accurately stated by George Washington, David believes that "the propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained."
Customer Reviews
Great overview, right to the point
Purchased this transcript and it is a great overview of the true meaning of "separation of church and state". True meaning in the sense that it is not even written in the constitution! David Barton gives a quick overview of where this statement comes from. Because it's a transcript, its a quick read and great to pass along to those who you would like to enlighten on the subject.
Short, quick reference
This is a short, easy to read booklet on that shows that the current doctrine of "separation of church and state" was not the intent of the original Founders and authors of the Constitution. Might be a good booklet to spark the interest of some young person who is not interested in reading a lengthy book on the subject.
Good but too short to justify cost
This booklet contains some good information, but there is too little useful data to justify the cost. Try David Barton's DVDs instead. They're chock full of information.
