 Church
& State: Lutheran Perspectives was published in April
2003. The book is
edited by John R. Stumme and Robert W. Tuttle, Professor of Law at
George Washington University Law School, and is published by Augsburg
Fortress, Publishers.
The
book is the result of a Department for Studies project that brought
together theologians, constitutional experts, and a professor of
social work to explore both the Lutheran tradition and the legal
contexts of church and state relations.
The book takes up perennial and current issues in church and
state relationships in the United States.
Mary Jane Haemig, Gary M. Simpson, Stumme, and Susan Kosche
Vallem write on perspectives and contributions from the Lutheran
tradition.
Myles C. Stenshoel, Marie Failinger, and Tuttle consider
constitutional questions.
