Almost everyone today affirms the importance and merit of religious
liberty. But religious liberty is being challenged by new questions
(for example, use of the niqab or church adoption services for
same-sex couples) and new forces (such as globalization and
Islamism). Combined, these make the meaning of religious liberty in
the twenty-first century uncertain. This collection of essays by
ten of the world's leading scholars on religious liberty takes aim
at these issues. The book is arranged around five specific
challenges to religious liberty today: the state's responsibility
to prevent coercion and intimidation of believers by others within
the same faith community; the US's basic moral responsibilities to
promote religious liberty abroad; how to understand and apply the
traditional right of conscientious objection in today's
circumstances; the distinctive problems presented by globalization;
and the viability today of an 'originalist' interpretation of the
First Amendment religion clauses.
