Law and religion : cases in context / edited by Leslie C. Griffin.
Aspen Publishers, 2010. KF4865.G76
2010 This book, edited by Professor Leslie Griffin, provides discussions of landmark cases in law and religion and the First Amendment, revealing the back story of each case as well as a brief analysis of its content and significance. The cases included involve issues that continue to confound the courts such as creation science and evolution, religious garb and symbols, and tax policy and religion. Professor Johnny Rex Buckles’ chapter Bob Jones University v. United States: A Journey Through Scripture and History can be found on p. 85. It contains a discussion of the history and legal significance of the case as well as an analysis of the theological and cultural factors that drove the controversies. |
