The concept of religious freedom is the favoured modern human
rights concept, with which the modern world hopes to tackle the
phenomenon of religious pluralism, as our modern existence in an
electronically shrinking globe comes to be increasingly
characterised by this phenomenon. To begin with, the concept of
religious freedom, as embodied in Article 18 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, seems self-evident in nature. It is
the claim of this book, however, that although emblematic on the
one hand, the concept is also problematic on the other, and the
implications of the concept of religious freedom are far from
self-evident, despite the ready acceptance the term receives as
embodying a worthwhile goal. This book therefore problematizes the
concept along legal, constitutional, ethical and theological lines,
and especially from the perspective of religious studies, so that
religious freedom in the world could be enlarged in a way which
promotes human flourishing.
