God and Caesar in Nebraska: A Study of the Legal Relationship of Church and State 1854-1954 is a comprehensive examination of the complex and constantly evolving relationship between religion and government in the state of Nebraska. Written by Orville H. Zabel, the book explores the legal and historical aspects of this relationship over a period of 100 years, from the time of Nebraska's territorial status to the mid-20th century.The book begins by examining the early history of Nebraska, including the role of religion in the lives of the early settlers and the establishment of various religious denominations in the state. It then delves into the legal aspects of the relationship between church and state, including the state's constitution and laws governing religious institutions.Throughout the book, Zabel explores various legal challenges to the separation of church and state, including cases involving public funding for religious schools and the display of religious symbols on public property. He also examines the role of religion in public life, including the influence of religious leaders on political issues and the use of religious rhetoric in political campaigns.In addition to its historical and legal analysis, God and Caesar in Nebraska also provides a thoughtful reflection on the broader implications of the relationship between religion and government. Zabel argues that while the separation of church and state is essential to preserving religious freedom, it is important for religious institutions to be involved in public life and to contribute to the common good.Overall, God and Caesar in Nebraska is a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the complex and often contentious relationship between religion and government in the state of Nebraska.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
