"Vincent Phillip Muñoz’s Religious Liberty and the American Supreme Court is by far the best single collection of Supreme Court cases on the religion clauses of the U.S. Constitution. Muñoz’s editorial work on abridging the opinions, as well as his brief introductory comments for each case, are masterfully done. I have used this book as a required text since the first edition appeared in 2011. Unlike traditional case law books—which are dominated by commentary and black-letter law—Muñoz’s text consists almost entirely of just the cases themselves. This allows students to explore the Court’s many opinions unburdened by some overarching theory or point of view that the editor or author thinks they should embrace. This also permits instructors a lot of leeway in crafting their syllabi and introducing students to secondary sources.”
