Reviews
With great rigor, intelligence, and a steady hand, Nelson Tebbe s <i>Religious Freedom in an Egalitarian Age</i> charts a thoughtful course out of the polarized debates surrounding religious liberty and LGBT/women s equality. To great effect, the book deploys a notion of social coherence to guide legal mediation of conflicts between faith and reason, divine and earthly values, private and public power, and complex and conflicting moral visions of the good. Tebbe is remarkably skilled at finding common ground from which to bring otherwise warring parties together through shared values and a sense of collective good. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the most difficult questions surrounding the modern civil rights era.--Katherine Franke, Columbia Law School
