505 _aThis class-tested casebook: - features exceptional authors who are well-known for their scholarship - places current debates in the context of broad recurring themes: free exercise of religion in the face of government regulation, government financial assistance to religious institutions, and the role of religion in government institutions - uses notes and questions to connect constitutional and religious history to current issues - combines notes and problems to stimulate deeper understanding and the application of knowledge to new issues - focuses on the interrelation between free exercise and establishment clauses - promotes in-depth case analysis through the use of lightly edited classic and current cases The Second Edition incorporates the many changes in the field: - a substantially revised section on The Power of the Purse considers the latest developments regarding school vouchers, funding of social services and strings attached to government aid - the section on tort claims against religious institutions reflects recent issues involving sexual-abuse cases - new Supreme Court and key lower-court decisions in all areas appear throughout the book
