Description
Book SynopsisIt has become known to many as the moment when the US Supreme Court kicked God out of the public schools, supposedly paving the way for a decline in educational quality and a dramatic rise in delinquency and immorality. This book helps readers understand why Americans remain divided on how divided church and state should be.
Trade ReviewThe most readable, entertaining, refreshing, enlightening account of the Engel case yet written. Derek H. Davis, author of Original Intent: Chief Justice Rehnquist and the Course of American Church/State Relations ""Never loses sight of the crucial fact that the controversy over religion in public schools belongs not to the captains and the kings but to ordinary people whose convictions - and passions - drive them to do what they believe they must."" Joan DelFattore, author of The Fourth R: Conflicts Over Religion in America's Public Schools ""One of the finest studies about Engel and its consequences."" Robert F. Drinan, S.J., author of Can God and Caesar Coexist?
