This was an interesting textbook concerning the case of the Lukumi Church in Hialeah Florida. The analysis contained within is really interesting, as it concerns the ongoing debate about Church vs. State, and how high the wall between the two should be. Highly recommended textbook to anyone interested in law. Law students studying church vs state should also find this of particular interest as it is an excellent case study.
