"A smart--and in the present circumstances, sobering--little book."--Christopher Caldwell, Financial Times
"Scholars or lay-people intrigued by the status of religion in contemporary developed nations will find Sullivan's study very useful."--John M. McTaggart, International Review of Modern Sociology
"An enormously interesting book. . . . [Sullivan] provides a window on the conflict between religious liberty, on the one hand, and the application of secular laws through our courts, on the other. She is a keen, sensitive observer, concerned fundamentally about the failure of lawyers and judges to listen to claimants and their experts."--Bryan K. Fair, Journal of Law and Religion
"Significant. . . . [The Impossibility of Religious Freedom] will generate important conversations not only in church/state circles, but among any student and scholar interested in religion and public life in postmodernity."--Michael D. McNally, Religious Studies Review
"Sullivan's book has the great virtue of placing abstract legal dilemmas in the concrete realities of everyday life."--R. Laurence Moore, American Scholar
