Review
A political scientist at Washington University in St. Louis and a native of England, where public funding of religious schools is common, MacMullen dissects the educational and political arguments for and against implementation of such a system in the United States...[MacMullen] proposes a solution he believes can satisfy both the wishes of families and the requirements of citizenship.

Review
Faith in Schools? is a forceful and well-argued contribution to the debate on the place of autonomy both in liberal-democratic schooling and in liberal political theory. The argument is novel, and the author's vigorous defense of the instrumental value of autonomy marks off a controversial position that will prompt a good deal of debate.
