Book Synopsis


Trade Review

“Steven Smith is the greatest law and religion scholar of his generation. Every book he writes is illuminating, and this one is no exception. The Disintegrating Conscience and the Decline of Modernity is far and away the most insightful, balanced, and convincing account of the religion clauses to appear in the last five years at least.” —Marc O. DeGirolami, author of The Tragedy of Religious Freedom
