内容説明
In this intriguing book, Levinson examines the history and the substance of our 'civil religion' of the Constitution. Echoes of this tradition are still heard in debates over whether the constitutional holy writ includes custom, secondary texts and history or is restricted to scriptural fundamentalism. Of equal age and intensity is the battle over the proper role of the priests. Is the Constitution what the Justices say it is or does it have a life of its own? ...The signal virtue of these fascinating travels through the metaphoric and historical life of the secular worship of the Constitution is the challenge ...to work out the terms of one's own constitutional faith. --Michael Meltsner, "The Nation"
