Steven Paul Leiva reviews FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND THE SECULAR STATE

Review here.

He concludes: "Freedom of Religion & the Secular State could not be more timely. If it becomes a standard text in colleges and universities, and, more generally, became a handy reference to those intimately concerned with questions regarding the separation of religion and state, then possibly, despite continuing heat over the subject, a little cool reflection could mediate the divide."

Have you or your publicist (who may also be you) tried to get on The Daily Show? I imagine Jon Stewart would be interested in your book.

It's hard, we've found in the past, to get those sorts of gigs. Difficult enough to get to talk at local writers' weeks, etc., alas. We're working on some things, but I'm not sure what it'll come to.

Russell might have more fun appearing on the Corbert Report.!
