Ever since the Supreme Court began enforcing the First Amendment's religion clauses in the 1940s, courts and scholars have tried to distill the meaning of those clauses into a useable principle of religious freedom. In Foreordained Failure, Smith argues that efforts to find a principle of religious freedom in the "original meaning" are futile, but not because the original meaning is irrecoverable. The difficulty is that the religion clauses were not originally intended to approve any principle or right of religious freedom. Rather, the clauses were purely jurisdictional in nature; they were intended to do nothing more than confirm that authority over questions of religion remained with the states. This work will be of great interest to law scholars, lawyers, judges, and other readers concerned with the subject of religious freedom.

The kingdom of Nezmyth is in shambles and hope is spread thin. King Barnabas has ruled relentlessly for decades, casting the Kingdom into immense poverty and decay. But a poor boy named Jason has been Foreordained by the Sacred Dragon to replace him as King. Now, at age seventeen, Jason must begin his Year of Decision and pass King Barnabas' tests before he can rise up to his responsibility to take the Throne... but does he even want to? King Barnabas will retain the Throne at any cost. Is it worth the suffering of the people he loves? The kingdom? His life? Jason must trust the Dragon and become something greater than he is, or Nezmyth will never prosper again.
