Recenzii
"Goldford's robust defense of the Religion Clauses as protecting religious freedom--and not religion itself--is a welcome antidote to conservative scholars and advocates." --Aram Schvey, Policy Council at the center for Reproductive Rights, Conscience (2013,34:1)
" The Constitution of Religious Freedom takes a unique approach to interpreting the appropriate place and role of religious freedom in the United States. Goldford argues, in a clear and accessible manner, that the First Amendment's religion clauses protect religious freedom rather than religion writ large. Scholars and students alike will learn from the argument presented in this important new book." --Laura R. Olson, Professor of Political Science, Clemson University
" The Constitution of Religious Freedom is an important book. In a time where political figures from Barack Obama to Mitt Romney to Nikki Haley have been openly attacked for their supposedly non-Christian religious beliefs, Goldford's timing is excellent." --Evan Gerstmann, Professor of Political Science and Law, Loyola Marymount University
"In this tightly reasoned but accessible volume, Goldford exposes the mistaken assumption that the American government espouses a religious mission rather than champions a commitment to religious freedom. The Constitution of Religious Freedom should be required reading for the policymakers and policy activists who shape the role of religion in American political life." --Richard A. Brisbin, Jr., Professor of Political Science, West Virginia University
"Goldford's book is logically and compellingly argued. He fearlessly and thoughtfully examines one of the most controversial--often blithely assumed and curiously dismissed--propositions in American politics today--that the United States is a Christian nation. Indeed, Goldford's refutation of this idea is devastating, yet always respectful and erudite." --Jessie Hill, Professor of Law, Case Western Reserve University School of Law
