The principal aim of the establishment and free exercise clauses of
the First Amendment was to preclude congressional imposition of a
national church. A balance was sought between states' rights and
the rights of individuals to exercise their religious conscience.
While the founding fathers were debating such issues, the potential
for serious conflict was confined chiefly to variations among the
dominant Christian sects. Today, issues of marriage, child bearing,
cultural diversity, and corporate personhood, among others, suffuse
constitutional jurisprudence, raising difficult questions regarding
the nature of beliefs that qualify as 'religious', and the reach of
law into the realm in which those beliefs are held. The essays
collected in this volume explore in a selective and instructive way
the intellectual and philosophical roots of religious liberty and
contemporary confrontations between this liberty and the authority
of secular law.
