Media Reviews
"There are few stiffer challenges to lawyers, academics and journalists than explaining complex legal issues to laymen without sacrificing accuracy and subtlety. In recent decades, this kind of work has come from such writers as Linda Greenhouse, Lyle Denniston, Tony Mauro, Jeffrey Rosen, Stuart Taylor and Nina Totenberg. Now we can add Garrett Epps...." -- Harvey Silverglate

Publisher's Notes
What exactly does the Constitution's promise of religious freedom protect? Who decides what beliefs and practices are worth protecting? Where does the law draw the line? For Al Smith, a Klamath Indian, the line was crossed when he was fired from his job for ingesting peyote as part of a Native American religious ceremony. Quickly escalating into one of the most heated constitutional confrontations in recent memory, this case prompted one of the Court's most shocking decisions. it would say that the Bill of Rights provided no protection for minority religions if the legislature chose not to recognize them. Vividly recreating this intense personal and legal drama, as well as the fierce backlash from religious groups across the nation, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD is a provocative look at freedom in America.
