In June, Princeton University Press is publishing a new book by Winnifred Fallers Sullivan, Dean of Students at the University of Chicago Divinity School. The book is titled The Impossibility of Religious Freedom. In it she claims that the idea of religious freedom has become a force for intolerance in American society. She builds on her experience as an expert witness in a case involving the placement of religious markers in a city-owned burial ground in Boca Raton, Florida.
Harvard University Press has published a new book edited by Mary Jo Bane, Brent Coffin and Richard Higgins, titled Taking Faith Seriously. It uses nine case studies to show the impact of religion on civic life.
Harvard University Press has also published Michael Ruse's new book, The Evolution-Creation Struggle. He traces the long struggle between opposing ideologies and finds similarities in the evangelical attitudes of evolutionists and fundamentalists who oppose them.
