Reviews / Votes
The importance and impact of the Everson decision on Church and State Jurisprudence cannot be overstated. This timely volume recounts the history, explains its significance, and draws out the implications for current church and state disputes. -- Michael Cromartie, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center Everson Revisited is a worthwhile reading for students of religion, law, and politics. While not only concentrating on the historical legacy of the Everson decision, the book provides some important insights for those grappling with the contemporary church-state conflicts surrounding religion and education. -- J. David Holocomb, Dallas Baptist University * Journal of Church and State * ...the book provides a valuable polemic. * International Journal Of Education and Religion * This set of high-quality essays sheds much light on this complex and controversial issue.
