"The general positions of contemporary religious fundamentalists have been widely publicized. What is of special value in this book is that those positions (along with responses to them by humanists, the courts, and others) have been categorized, summarized, and amply illuminated by citations from and references to a literature produced by the fundamentalist press that is not readily available." — Arthur Brown, Wayne State University
