Summary:

This updated edition of Religion and the American Constitutional
Experiment provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary overview of
the history, theory, law, and comparative analysis of American
religious liberty from the earliest colonial period through the most
recent Supreme Court cases. In accessible, jargon-free language, the
authors present balanced discussions of controversial issues,
including the funding of religious schools and charities and
displaying religious symbols on government property. Three chapters
new to this edition cover the free exercise of religion, religion and
public life, and religious organizations and the law. In addition,
the authors address seven new cases, and an expanded concluding
chapter places the American experience in a global context by
comparing contemporary American religious liberty law with
international human rights standards.
