| Summary: | On the continuum of reference materials, a handbook lies somewhere between an encyclopedia and an edited volume. A handbook lacks the comprehensiveness of the former but retains its breadth. Likewise, it lacks the latter's focus on a target problematic but utilizes its case study approach. The work in question aspires to offer a comprehensive, multidimensional overview of church–state relations in the United States, past and present. The editor, Derek H. Davis, is singularly qualified to navigate such a mission. An uncommonly productive scholar, he is the former editor of this very journal and served as the longtime director of the J. M. Dawson Institute of Church–State Studies at Baylor University., Although no one book can be truly comprehensive, this one surely is sweeping. |
