Marc O. DeGirolami is Associate Professor of Law at St. John's University School of Law.
A sophisticated and thoughtful book, which offers fresh insights on
a central question of religious liberty. -- Philip Hamburger,
author of Separation of Church and State
The Tragedy of Religious Freedom is a first-rate
contribution to the law-and-religion conversation. This
conversation--how to think about, and how to effectively protect in
law, religious freedom in a constitutional democracy--is a lively
and timely one, and DeGirolami is an impressive participant.
-- Richard W. Garnett, Notre Dame Law School
DeGirolami's is a thoughtful and sophisticated meditation on
the protean relationship between law and faith in a society
committed to religious freedom. His intellectual and cultural
influences are broad and rewarding; his style is rich and
accessible; and his critique of both theoretical foundationalism
and skepticism is profound and compelling. The Tragedy of
Religious Freedom is an important book that will undoubtedly
influence and enrich this discussion for years to come.
-- Ian Bartrum * Journal of Church and State *
DeGirolami sharply criticizes the current state of legal
theory regarding religious freedom in the U.S. and offers a
solution he claims will cure many present ills. -- M. D. Brewer *
Choice *
One of the best recent books on constitutional law. -- Adam J.
White * Weekly Standard *
DeGirolami's Tragedy is perhaps the single best
exposition of 'Burkean constitutionalism' in decades...It is the
most nuanced, thoughtful, and effective explanation of 'Burkean'
jurisprudence in a generation, and it deserves the widest possible
audience. -- Adam J. White * Commentary *
