The book covers almost every aspect of American law and holds them up to Catholic Social Teaching.  Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard University and former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See called it “a brilliant collection of essays from some of the country’s best legal thinkers. This work reveals how practically every area of the law can be illuminated and enriched through a deep grounding in the Catholic faith.”  Michael Novak, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Human Rights Commission and 1994 Templeton laureate said: “Precisely because I am not a lawyer, I really liked this book. For an outsider, it provides a crisp guide to the history of American Catholics under American law—a fairly friendly and yet often antagonistic encounter…. This book provides an invaluable overview, to which I shall want to return for references.”
