Abstract
American government is in a bad way, as are its churches, and politics and religion are entangled. Questions of ‘church and state’ or ‘establishment’ are far from settled. Hostility against Christianity seems to be on the rise. Articles and surveys about another American civil war proliferate. What can we learn from the past? Canon Press, always up for a good controversy, have released three timely books. Two are re-releases from eras when Protestants faced persecution and religious wars. The third offers a terse but ambitious history. The oldest of the two re-releases is the famous Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos (1579), a Huguenot tract published pseudonymously by ‘Junius Brutus’, and likely composed by Philippe deMornay (1549–1623). It joined three other books
