Reviews

Advance praise: 'Taken together, this outstanding collection of essays is an enlightening, civil and ultimately hopeful dialogue about one of the most urgent public policy questions of our time. Essential reading for every American who cares about religious freedom, equality and the prospects for finding common ground across our deepest differences.' Charles C. Haynes, Founding Director, Religious Freedom Center, Freedom Forum Institute Advance praise: 'This superbly edited, richly diverse, and impressively comprehensive volume promises a 360-degree vantage on one of the most complex and polarizing issues of our day - and it delivers. Whether you already know what you think, or are coming fresh to the controversy, you will find these pages to be rich in wisdom and glowing with the spirit and ingenuity of American pluralism.' Jonathan Rauch, Brookings Institution, Washington, DC Advance praise: 'This big, bold, and bracing book is pulsing with good will and earnest effort to reconcile competing claims of religious freedom and sexual liberty, especially for LGBTQ Parties. Professors Wilson and Eskridge, Jr, have long been national leaders in this reconciliation effort, and deserve high praise for assembling such a vast collection of leading scholars. This will be the go-to book for the next generation.' John Witte, Jr, Director, Center for the Study of Law and Religion, Emory University Advance praise: 'Professors Eskridge, Jr, and Wilson have collected an enlightening and engaging collection of views and arguments that covers the full conversation about whether and how 'common ground' between religious freedom and LGBT rights is possible. In this volume, legal scholars, activists, theologians, historians, and public officials explore not only the history, justifications, and implications of religious liberty's foundational status, but also the contemporary challenges to it.' Richard W. Garnett, Paul J. Schierl / Fort Howard Corporation Professor of Law, Notre Dame Law School


Author Information

William N. Eskridge, Jr, is the John A. Garver Professor of Jurisprudence at Yale Law School, Connecticut. A renowned scholar of statutory interpretation and legislation, in 1990–95, Professor Eskridge represented a gay couple suing for recognition of their same-sex marriage. He has published a field-establishing casebook, three monographs, and dozens of articles articulating a legal and political framework for proper state treatment of sexual and gender minorities. Historical materials in Gaylaw formed the basis for an amicus brief filed by Cato Institute and much of the US Supreme Court's (and the dissenting opinion's) analysis in Lawrence v. Texas (2003), invalidating consensual sodomy laws. Robin Fretwell Wilson is the Roger and Stephany Joslin Professor of Law at the University of Illinois College of Law, Chicago. Professor Wilson assisted the Utah legislature as it enacted landmark legislation balancing religious freedom and LGBT non-discrimination protections. She founded and directs the Fairness for All Initiative which provides tangible support to legislators seeking to enact laws protecting both communities. A member of the American Law Institute, she is the author, co-author, or editor of eleven books, including Same-Sex Marriage and Religious Liberty (2008) and The Contested Place of Religion in Family Law (Cambridge, 2018). In 2018, she received the Thomas L. Kane Religious Freedom Award.
