Judicial Doctrines of Religious Rights in America

By William George Torpey

Centering his study on what the courts have said about religious liberty, Torpey tells the story of the struggle in the courtrooms toward the present situation in America in which church and state are almost completely separated politically, but where the church furthers the morality of the state and the state protects the integrity of any and all churches.
