"I know of no other book that addresses so well the subject of religion in education across the wide spectrum from public schools to universities. And because of his capacity to speak clearly to diverse publics, no other author is better equipped than Martin Marty to promote conversation (as opposed to verbal warfare) about this controversial subject among school board members as well as teachers, concerned taxpayers as well as advocates of religion." (Conrad Cherry, professor, Indiana University/Purdue University)

"Only Martin Marty, our most respected scholar of American religion, has the credibility to frame a new and much-needed national dialogue about the place of religion in American education. This lucid and thought-provoking book asks the key questions that must be addressed as Americans seek the common good across differences that are deep and abiding." (Charles C. Haynes, senior scholar, First Amendment Center)

"With his customary eloquence, insight, and learning, Martin Marty makes a compelling case for including the study of religion in schools and universities. This timely and important contribution to our cultural conversation about education and the common good should be of great interest to educators and the wider public." (Warren A. Nord, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, author of Religion and American Education)
