Later this month, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case—Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby— that has arisen as society tries to reconcile corporate rights with religious liberty.

Since the Hobby Lobby's founding, the Green family has managed their company in accordance with their Christian principles. Among the religious tenets guiding them is their moral opposition to contraceptives. However, within the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) thousands of pages is a requirement that corporations with more than 50 employees must provide coverage in their group health plans for certain medical services (contraceptives being one) or face severe penalties, which forces the Greens to chose between their religious principles or their business. The Greens sued to protect the right to exercise their religion, and now the case will be heard, front and center, in the Supreme Court.

In this specially created ebook, Eugene Volokh, one of the nation's foremost First Amendment scholars and founder of the renowned Volokh Conspiracy, has merged previously published work with new content and analysis to offer an exceptionally clear, understandable, and compelling work that provides readers with a comprehensive primer on religious accommodation in the in the context of the ACA's contraceptive mandate.
