Separation of Powers

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 31, 2010
Mark Lilla, professor of the humanities at Columbia University and the author of the soon-to-be-published The Stillborn God: Religion, Politics and the Modern West (Knopf, 2007), says the "Great Separation" between religion and politics was an accident of history and not a stage of political development.

The Stillborn God is available for purchase at Amazon.com.
