Summary:

Church and state: a simple phrase that reflects one of the most famous and fraught relationships in the history of the United States. But what exactly is 'the church', and how is it understood in US law today? In 'Church State Corporation', religion and law scholar Winnifred Fallers Sullivan uncovers the deeply ambiguous and often unacknowledged ways in which Christian theology remains alive and at work in the American legal imagination.
