Reviews

<br> This book remains an outstanding achievement. Rivers has managed to collate and analyse a huge amount of law whose volume and complexity are immense. He has done so in an engaging and enlightening way and his book represents an outstanding achievement in legal scholarship. <br>--Ronan McCrea, The Modern Law Review<p><br>


Rivers' discussion...will form an invaluable primary source, giving not only the law's history, but also the trajectory which it has taken in moving between Establishment and Secularism. ASIL ...a coherant, reasoned narrative plotting a course with clarity, precision and sensitivity over a subject which will animate jurists, ecclesiologists, sociologists, politicians and readers of the Daily Mail for many years to come. Professor Mark Hill QC, Cardiff University
