Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A smart—and in the present circumstances, sobering—little book."
—Christopher Caldwell, Financial Times"Scholars or lay-people intrigued by the status of religion in contemporary developed nations will find Sullivan's study very useful."
—John M. McTaggart, International Review of Modern Sociology"An enormously interesting book. . . . [Sullivan] provides a window on the conflict between religious liberty, on the one hand, and the application of secular laws through our courts, on the other. She is a keen, sensitive observer, concerned fundamentally about the failure of lawyers and judges to listen to claimants and their experts."
—Bryan K. Fair, Journal of Law and Religion"Significant. . . . [
The Impossibility of Religious Freedom] will generate important conversations not only in church/state circles, but among any student and scholar interested in religion and public life in postmodernity."
—Michael D. McNally, Religious Studies Review"Sullivan's book has the great virtue of placing abstract legal dilemmas in the concrete realities of everyday life."
—R. Laurence Moore, American Scholar
