520 |a The Spirit of the Law “explores the tension between the spirit filled and the law-bound in American society” (p. x). Gordon uses the well-known term the “spirit of the law” not in its usual sense of a law's presumed purpose, but to refer to those “spirit-filled” religious believers whose interactions with the law are occasioned by the commands of their faith. Acting not on legal doctrines, but on “popular constitutionalism,” they are confident that the constitution should protect their religiously inspired acts and are willing to go to court to prove it. In doing so, these religious actors have shaped the interpretation of the written constitution, and those interpretations have, in turn, shaped the American religious landscape.
