Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In an impressive one-volume work, Eastland, who is the director of the Law and Society Project at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, has collected 25 leading constitutional law cases concerning the two religion clauses of the First Amendment. Moreover, in a move that makes this book additionally helpful, Eastland has included reactions to and commentary on these cases from journals of opinion along with insightful, incisive commentary from several of the leading scholars in this highly consequential and controversial field of constitutional law and politics. Essentially, this book is a reader in the field of church-state issues, and for anyone interested in becoming informed on the church-state debate, this volume is an excellent starting point. The cases are presented in chronological order, along with summaries and introductory material. For students of the role of religion in American law, politics, and society, this work belongs on the shelf. Highly recommended for all libraries.?Stephen Shaw, Northwest Nazarene Coll., Nampa, Id.
