Editorial Reviews

A law school casebook that emphasizes the interrelatedness of the "free exercise of religion" and the "nonestablishment of religion" clauses of the United States Constitution. Both components are examined in the three areas where government interacts with religion: the regulation of religious activity, the funding of religious activity, and the treatment of religion in government's culture shaping activities such as public schools. Relevant Supreme Court cases are presented along with explanatory notes. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
