Law and Religion: Cases in Context: Law & Business

This unique text will intrigue students and engage their interest with:
- Accessible prose and interesting illustrations;
- Cases that involve issues that continue to confound the courts: creation science and evolution; public religious symbols like the cross and the crA]che; private religious clothing like the yarmulke and the khimar; tax policy and religion;
- Engaging characters, such as: Guy Ballard, who told customers that he was chosen by Saint Germain as a divine messenger and possessed supernatural healing powers that they could purchase; Officer and Doctor Simcha Goldman, who wore a yarmulke to the psychology clinic until an irritated military attorney complained to Goldman's superiors that the yarmulke was not permitted under Air Force regulations; Kimberlie Webb, a Philadelphia police officer who lost her efforts to wear a headscarf while in uniform and on duty; Ronald Rosenberger, who successfully challenged the University of Virginia's denial of funding to his evangelical publication, Wide Awake;
- Insights from leading law and religion scholars of diverse professional, religious, geographical, and institutional backgrounds.

In her role as editor, Leslie C. Griffin, who holds a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Yale University as well as a J.D. from Stanford Law School, has brought together an impressive group of contributors to create Law and Religion: Cases in Context.
