New Books Focus On Impact of Religion On Law and Policy

Two new books are discussed at length in reviews made available online. At Mirror of Justice, Patrick Brennan has posted his review of David Yamane's new book, The Catholic Church in State Politics: Negotiating Prophetic Demands & Political Realities (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2005).

In Tikkun Magazine, Michael Lerner writes a lengthy Editorial titled "Hostile Takeover: Theocracy in America". It reflects the thesis of his new book The Left Hand of God: Taking Our Country Back from the Religious Right (Harper San Francisco, February 7, 2006). [Thanks to Jesus Politics for the lead.]
