What happens when a state board prescribes a prayer for public
school children to recite in every classroom each morning as part
of its program of ""moral and spiritual training""? This question
faced the U.S. Supreme Court in 1962 when they heard arguments in
Engel v. Vitale. What some observers considered to be nothing more
than a school tradition became the basis of a key constitutional
question dealing with religious freedom and the meaning of
separation of church and state in the United States. ""Engel v.
Vitale"" serves as a useful primer of an issue that remains an
emotionally charged one today. Combining absorbing profiles of key
litigants with carefully selected full-color photographs, extensive
footnotes, and a chronology and timeline, historian Shane Mountjoy
provides excellent coverage of this decisive case.
