Religious Freedom: History, Cases, and Other Materials on the Interaction of Religion and Government situates the First Amendment’s religion clauses firmly within their larger historical context. The third edition adds new materials on major events in the long narrative of the human struggle for religious freedom that preceded the First Amendment, from ancient Roman religion through early Christianity, the Reformation, and the American Revolution. Noonan and Gaffney enable students to read the cases with the insight that the two provisions on religion in the First Amendment are not in conflict with one another, but are equally important ways of saying the same thing.
