Religion & Law

I received in the mail today my own copy of MOJ-friend Paul Horwitz's new (OUP) book, "The Agnostic Age:  Law, Religion, and the Constitution."  Order yours today!  As I wrote in my back-cover blurb:

"The confident predictions of religion's decline and disappearance have proved badly misguided. It is true today, as it always has been, that religious faith, commitments, authority, and activism matter to people, to communities, and therefore to the law. In this thoughtful, engaging book, Prof. Horwitz proposes that our law and politics should appreciate religion's importance and distinctiveness and take its truth-claims seriously. As he explains, a secular government that is appropriately agnostic toward these claims nevertheless may and should cherish and protect religious freedom."

Congrats to Paul!
