Inhaltsangabe: God vs. the Gavel challenges the pervasive assumption that all religious conduct deserves constitutional protection. The thesis of the book is that anyone who harms another person should be governed by the laws that govern everyone else - and truth be told, religion is capable of great harm.

Críticas: 'Professor Hamilton's book dazzles with lucid, original, and humane intelligence. The legal profession, academia and the general public will all enjoy learning from it. Let us hope the U.S. Supreme Court does not deviate again from its present conclusion on religious liberty as Hamilton explains it.' Rita Swan, Ph.D., President, Children's Healthcare Is a Legal Duty

'Marci Hamilton has heroically and truthfully confronted the widespread American myth that all things done in the name of religion are good and deserving of constitutional protections. She has accurately named the harm done in the name of religion and how this harm is protected and enabled by the courts and law enforcement by way of the inaccurate application of the First Amendment. God vs. The Gavel is essential reading for those who insist that religion be true to its fundamental mission and not about victimizing people for the sake of power, privilege or financial gain.' Thomas P. Doyle, O.P., J.C.D., C.A.D.C., Canon Lawyer, Advocate for those abused by Clergy

'For anyone interested in how the law should accommodate religious views in a modern pluralistic society this book is well worth reading ... The book is excellently researched ... worth the relatively modest investment of the cover price.' The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland
