Summary:
"This book on religious property law covers three narrow issues of religious property disputes: (1) the local church versus a denomination over the ownership of land and real property when the church leaves the denomination, (2) the ownership of religious property within an independent church, and (3) the religious entity versus a local community engaged in a land use and zoning dispute"--Provided by publisher.
