Editorial Reviews

Review
"...an authoritative and constructive study of the US Supreme Court's free exercise jurisprudence." -- Choice

Review

"In this worthy book [Catherine Cookson] makes a compelling case for a casuistical approach to church-state jurisprudence having to do with free exercise cases."--H-NET
"Beautifully written and argued it is rare to find a book on religion and the Constitution in the United States that brings such ideologically unencumbered care and intelligence to the issue. Cookson's reading of the major Supreme Court cases is fresh and smart."- The Journal of Religion
