Publisher's Synopsis
The State In Its Relations With The Church is a book written by William E. Gladstone in 1839. The book explores the relationship between the state and the church in England, particularly in regards to the Church of England. Gladstone argues that the state has a duty to protect and support the church, and that the church has a role to play in shaping the moral and social fabric of the nation. He also discusses the importance of religious freedom and the need for the church to be independent of state control. The book is considered a landmark work in the history of church-state relations and has had a significant impact on political and religious thinking in England and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
