Reviews
“Comprehensive, balanced, and extremely readable, Warren A. Nord has written the best introduction to the vexing issue of the role of religion in public schools. It is hard to imagine a more reasonable book, yet it is also full of fresh insights and driven by a vision of fairness to some provocative conclusions.”--Teaching, Theology, and Religion
"[A] thoughtful analysis of religion's role in public education. . . . Nord persuasively argues that educators in public institutions exclude religious points of view."--Commonweal
"Nord clearly wants to engage the interested general reader, not the specialist, and his conversational writing style helps him succeed."--Christian Science Monitor
"An important achievement that should become a standard reference in years to come."--Washington Times
"This is a book and a set of proposals to be taken very seriously indeed."--Washington Post
"Nord writes about a serious public problem with clarity and fairness. For intelligent general readers who seek to understand historical, constitutional, and philosophical implications of the current cultural war over religion and public education."--Choice
