Religious Freedom and the Supreme Court cover

Toward Benevolent Neutrality (5th edition, 1996), a longstanding favorite for professors of church-and-state relationships in the U.S., has been revised and updated by one original author, Robert B. Flowers, and two new ones, Melissa Rogers and Steven K. Green. Religious Freedom and the Supreme Court contains a new introduction clearly explaining specific ways the Court delineates the idea of religious freedom on a case-by-case basis. As clearly written as its predecessor, and as appropriate for the classroom, this new book contains explanations of more recent cases, decided by a contemporary Supreme Court. It is clear, relevant, and an essential text for the twenty-first century.

An authoritative handbook, striking in its probing analysis of the enduring teachings of the First Amendment. -John Witte, Jr., Jonas Robitscher Professor of Law, Emory Law School, Director, Center for the Study of Law and Religion
This volume is hefty and comprehensive but also straightforward, accessible, and well organized.... Perceptive study questions point the reader toward both open questions and animating premises.... recommended. -- First Things
