Supreme Court on Church+state

The twenty-five years since the publication of Joseph Tussman's The Supreme Court on Church and State have witnessed renewed interest in, and often bitter controversy over the meanings and implications of the First Amendment. In revising and updating Tussman's book, Robert Alley has collected the major Supreme Court decisions on the separation of church and state to provide a comprehensive and non-partisan guide to the Court's opinions. The cases are presented in their entirety, with many essential dissenting opinions, and cover a representative sample of important issues, from interpretations of the First Amendment's establishment clause in church schools, public schools, post-secondary schools, and Sunday laws, to readings of the free exercise clause. With a historical introduction and a chart of Supreme Court Justices' votes, this book is an important reference on a timely subject.Alley, Robert S. is the author of 'Supreme Court on Church+state' with ISBN 9780195050288 and ISBN 0195050282.
