Religious Liberty, Volume 1: Overviews and History
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
One of the most respected and influential scholars of religious liberty in our time, Douglas Laycock has argued many crucial religious liberty cases in the U.S. appellate courts and Supreme Court. His noteworthy scholarly and popular writings are being collected in five comprehensive volumes under the title Religious Liberty.
This first volume gives the big picture of religious liberty in the United States, fitting a vast range of disparate disputes into a coherent pattern—from public school prayers to private school vouchers to regulation of churches and believers. Laycock’s clear overviews provide the broad, historical, helpful context often lacking in today’s press.

Praise for the Print Edition
Any person who cares about religious liberty in America (and we should all be greatly concerned about its increasingly fragile condition) needs to read Douglas Laycock. Anyone who wants to understand the religious liberty battles being fought in today’s legislatures, courts, culture, and media will be enlightened by reading even one of the articles in this book... These writings are lucid and compelling, completely accessible to every reader—lawyer or not, academic or not, religious or not. Doug has the gift for taking complex ideas and making them elegantly simple but never simplistic.
