Author Stephen Waldman profiled his book, Sacred Liberty: America’s Long, Bloody and Ongoing Struggle for Religious Freedom, in Newsweek, writing:
“Most of our modern fights over religious freedom are minor skirmishes compared with the battles that were fought earlier. We should appreciate our unusual achievement and what our ancestors had to sacrifice. Let’s not squander it. Indeed, as the world becomes more interconnected, America has something great to offer: a paradigm for how religious difference—so often the source of violent division—can be harnessed or even turned into strength.”
