In God We Trust: How the Supreme Court's First Amendment Decisions Affect Organized Religion by Kathryn Page Camp (2nd Edition)
What does the First Amendment say about religion? What did the founders intend when they adopted it? Has the Supreme Court been true to that intent?
This book provides a neutral summary of the First Amendment's historical background and the cases interpreting it. That knowledge arms readers with the tools they need to answer the questions for themselves.
Alan J. Dixon, former U.S. Senator from Illinois, said of the first edition, "Kathryn Page Camp has written an excellent book on the history of the adoption of the First Amendment to our U.S. Constitution and the developing law over the years concerning this amendment. I recommend it highly to readers with an interest in the subject matter."
