Questions of religious liberty have become flashpoints of controversy in virtually every area of life around the world. Despite the protection of religious liberty at both national and supranational levels, there is an increasing number of conflicts concerning the proper way to recognize it – both in modern secular states and in countries with an established religion or theocratic mode of government.
This book provides an analysis of the general concept of religious liberty along with a close study of important cases that can serve as test beds for conflict resolution proposals. It combines the insights of both pure academics and experienced legal practitioners to take a fresh look at the nature, scope and limits of religious liberty. Divided into two parts, the collection presents a blend of legal and philosophical approaches, and draws on cases from a wide range of jurisdictions, including Brazil, India, Australia, the USA, the Netherlands, and Canada.
Presenting a broad range of views, this often provocative volume makes for fascinating reading for academics and researchers working in the areas of law and religion, legal philosophy and human rights.

'Dr. Menuge has assembled an impressive and diverse group of contributors to address one of the most pressing issues of the day: religious liberty and the law. The book’s survey of legal, religious, and philosophical traditions around the world make this a must read for any serious student of the subject.'
John Bursch, Bursch Law PLLC
'While everyone else is running around talking about secondary issues, this book raises the questions that matter most: Is religious liberty a basic human need, and what assumptions about the universe and human nature are necessary to justify it? Religious Liberty and the Law cuts through both popular hysteria and superficial ideology to show us what is really at stake in these debates.'
Greg Forster, Trinity International University, USA
