Note:"This volume brings together 25 leading religion-clause cases, in chronological order. For each there is a brief introduction that summarizes the facts and suggests how the case relates to others and to evolving judicial doctrine. The majority opinion and some other opinions are then presented, in full or in substantial excerpts. The concurring and dissenting opinions that are included were selected because they add something important to the debate over the proper interpretation and application of the Constitution." -- Preface
