Noonan, Jr. (read 24 Jan 2001) This is a great book, full of much insight. Its subtitle does not fully indicate all it discusses. But Chapter 7, called "The Pilgrim's Process," is a devastating consideration of the Supreme Court's troubles with the religious provisions of the First Amendment. Chapter 6 discusses a case I never heard of--the prosecution of Mrs. Ballard for fraud--and is super-interesting. The last chapter tells of the fight at Vatican II for the Declaration on Religious Freedom. Some of the chapters were a little heavy--e.g., Durkheim's Dilemma--but it was never a chore to read this very good book. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The Lustre of Our Country demonstrates how the idea of religious freedom is central to the American experience and to American influence on religion around the world. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
