Journal of Church and State

The only scholarly journal expressly concerned with the topic of church and state, Journal of Church and State seeks to stimulate interest, dialogue, research, and publication in the area of church-state relations and religious freedom. Each issue of JCS, in addition to an editorial, features live or six major articles based upon research, interpretation, and/or critical analysis on the constitutional, historical, philosophical, theological, and sociological aspects of the interaction between the religious and the political, and from thirty-five to forty reviews of or notes on significant books related to church and state. From time to time key documents and texts of important court decisions are also published. Regular features of each issue include “Notes on Church-State Affairs,” a nation-by-nation compilation of current occurrences in church-state matters, and a list of “Recent Doctoral Dissertations in Church and State.”

“An excellent scholarly survey of the church-state field, publishing diverse views by authors from various traditions.”

—Department of Religious Liberty and Human Rights, National Council of Churches, U.S.A.

“It certainly fills a gap in contemporary scholarship that other journals have not dealt with in depth.”

—John C. Carey, Chairman, Department of Religion, Florida State University

“It provides an open forum for the exchange of ideas and the exploration of the ramifications of faith as it relates to public questions. It sense of balance and perspective, together with its global orientation, are refreshing.”

—Richard V. Pierard, Professor of History, Indiana State University

The journal has maintained a high level of discussion from the start.” —Peter Singer, The New York Times Magazine

• Rights and Agency by Amartya Sen

• Women and the Making of the Sentimental Family by Susan Moller Okin
