Reviews
Advance praise: 'There are plenty of books and articles, both in Israel and abroad, which deal with freedom of conscience and religion. State and Religion in Israel by Sapir and Statman is the best of them all. No other book can compete with its intellectual honesty, sharp reasoning and comprehensive knowledge of the topic in all its complexity. I will not be exaggerating if I say that the public and legal discourse in Israel will improve as a result of the ideas in this book, which is mandatory reading for any thinking person.'
