Publisher's Note
This remarkable work offers a fresh approach to a freedom that is often taken for granted in the United States, yet is one of the strongest and proudest elements of American culture--religious freedom. In this compellingly written, distinctly personal book, Judge John T. Noonan asserts that freedom of religion, as James Madison conceived it, is an American invention previously unknown to any nation on earth. Illustrations.

Industry reviews
"'The Lustre of our Country' is a Catholic's paean to the greatness of a liberal American tradition, but more important, it is a judge's and scholar's very enlightening tour through a complex legal and religious history. Noonan has the mix of intellectual chutzpah and humility to make it a tour de force."
New York Times Book Review - Richard Wightman Fox (07/05/1998)

"...his [Noonan's] work stands out as exemplary in its grasp of complex historical and social issues."
