Reviews

"Hamburger has written an extremely important book. His prodigious learning and ingenious interpretations overturn the conventional wisdom, forcing even the most passionate defenders of separationism to recognise how much of the story of religious liberty has taken on mythical dimensions." - Alan Wolfe, Books and Culture; "This richly documented and cogently argued book challenges conventional interpretations of separation of church and state as a constitutional standard in American history and promises to reshape the debate on the constitutional and prudential relations between religion and American public life." - Daniel L. Dreisbach, American University"
