Description
Summary:This edited volume is the product of a conference convened by the Witherspoon Institute in 2009 to confront five major questions concerning religious liberty in our century. The participants, each of whom contributed one of the book's essays, are among the most prominent contemporary thinkers on religious liberty issues, representing the disciplines of law, sociology, political science and foreign policy, and philosophy. Each of the five questions becomes a chapter containing two essays. Chapter 1 concerns the methods and sources for originalist interpretations of the First Amendment religion clauses. Chapter 2 focuses on the proper scope of government in protecting individuals from coercion by religious groups.
