Reviews

The Religious Left and Church-State Relations offers a tour-de-force account of the First Amendment's religion clauses and how they should be interpreted. This is no dry academic exercise, but rather a direct response to conservatives who view supporters of church-state separation as uncaring, even hostile, toward organized religion. The book is a refutation by one who cares deeply. -- Robert K. Vischer, Commonweal The Religious Left is a valuable and provocative book. Scholars of law, religion, and politics will want to mull over Shiffrin's cogent and artfully argued conclusions. Shiffrin has made an important contribution to the literature at the evergreen intersection of constitutional and political theory. The seasoning and deep learning of Shiffrin's mind permeate the book's pages. -- Marc O. DeGirolami, Journal of Law and Religion Shiffrin has made an excellent contribution with this book, one on which he and others may now build. -- Melissa Rogers, Journal of Church and State Shiffrin presents an interesting argument in this volume: the religious Left is better equipped than the secular Left to challenge the religious Right on questions of church and state in the U.S... A useful book for students of constitutional law and religion in the U.S. -- Choice
