Exempting The Churches (1916)

By James Ferdinand Morton Jr.

Book Overview

Exempting The Churches is a book written by James Ferdinand Morton and originally published in 1916. The book focuses on the issue of tax exemption for churches in the United States. Morton argues that the tax-exempt status of churches is unfair and unconstitutional, as it violates the principle of separation of church and state. He also contends that churches should not receive special treatment under the law, and that they should be subject to the same taxes as other institutions. The book provides a detailed analysis of the legal and historical background of tax exemption for churches, and examines the arguments for and against it. It is a thought-provoking and well-researched work that remains relevant to this day, as the debate over tax exemption for churches continues.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
