"This is a compact study and review of Supreme Court decisions bearing on church-state issues. Most of the famous cases, and some of the minor ones, are touched on in this informed treatment... [I]t is good to have in book form this forthright essay which can contribute to greater precision of thought in a confused area."
--Robert T. Handy, Church History
"Professor Kurland's highly compressed but lucid style is designed to isolate the constitutional issues that define the meaning and application of the religion clauses of the First Amendment as construed by the United States Supreme Court... Perhaps because it often immerses itself in empirical detail, our century is suspicious of histories written to exhibit undeviating, unilinear progress. Law is no exception, and Kurland's book presents American judicial experience with the First Amendment as a checkered history of radical inconsistency."
--Leslie Edward Van Marter, Ethics
"The scholar interested in law will find Philip B. Kurland's Religion and the Law: Of Church and State and the Supreme Court stimulating. The author advances the thesis that the freedom and separation clauses of the First Amendment must be regarded "as a single precept that government cannot utilize religion as a standard for action or inaction," and that the Amendment prohibits "classification in terms of religion.""
