'The demarcation of the boundaries between state and religious communities has always been a sensitive matter in the West. Eberle's thorough treatment and comparative analysis of three of the principal models acceptable in the West - establishment, cooperation, and separation - serves as an important and timely contribution to the debate.' Larry Catá Backer, Pennsylvania State University, USA 'Professor Eberle's book is a tour de force that should be read by scholars, judges, attorneys, and others interested in the area of law and religion. He has the unique ability to compare complex court decisions regarding religion, from three nations, in a clear and interesting manner. His insights and analysis will be illuminating to all readers.' Mark S. Kende, Drake University, USA 'Church and State in Western Society deepens our understanding of German constitutional law, enriches our comprehension of American constitutional law, and enhances our knowledge of the constitutional law of the United Kingdom. Eberle’s fluency in the constitutional law of foreign nations has made him a trusted voice for those of us interested in comparative constitutional law, both in order to gain insights into other legal systems and to learn more about our own.'
