"The Christ Child Goes to Court is a useful study of Lynch v. Donnelly.... It takes the reader from A to Z in the dispute, and interspersed throughout are mini-lectures on the role of the judiciary and the like."
--Commonwealth
"Any American who is interested in church-state relations, and the role of the courts in guiding them, will benefit from reading it."
--Church and State
"In this well-written study, Professor Swanson examines the forces that led to Lynch V. Donnelly, traces the case through the federal court system, and analyzes the Supreme Court's decision. One really gets a flavor of the emotions that this case, and others like it, generate. No other book of the same genre is as useful in illustrating the interplay of local politics and the development of a Supreme Court case."
--Caren Dubnoff, Professor of Political Science, Holy Cross College

Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 242 pages. "In December 1980, when the American Civil Liberties Union challenged the Nativity scene in the Christmas display put out by the city of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, an emotional controversy erupted. This book describes how the compelling constitutional issue polarized public opinion in Rhode Island and generated "unimaginable vilification" of the Roman Catholic judge who first ordered the creche removed. He reports the reactions of local citizens, which echoed the national debate on this issue." FINE HARDCOVER, GOOD DUST JACKET. Dust jacket protected with a clear plastic acid-free jacket.
