This volume illustrates both theoretically and empirically the
differences between religious diversity and religious pluralism. It
highlights how the factual situation of cultural and religious
diversity may lead to individual, social and political choices of
organized and recognized pluralism. In the process, both individual
and collective identities are redefined, incessantly moving along
the continuum that ranges from exclusion to inclusion. The book
starts by first detailing general issues related to religious
pluralism. It makes the case for keeping the empirical, the
normative, the regulatory and the interactive dimensions of
religious pluralism analytically distinct while recognizing that,
in practice, they often overlap. It also underlines the importance
of seeking connections between religious pluralism and other
pluralisms. Next, the book explores how religious diversity can
operate to contribute to legal pluralism and examines the different
types of church-state relations: eradication, monopoly, oligopoly
and pluralism. The second half of the book features case studies
that provide a more specific look at the general issues, from ways
to map and assess the religious diversity of a whole country to a
comparison between Belgian-French views of religious and
philosophical diversity, from religious pluralism in Italy to the
shifting approach to ethnic and religious diversity in America, and
from a sociological and historical perspective of religious
plurality in Japan to an exploration of Brazilian religions, old
and new. The transition from religious diversity to religious
pluralism is one of the most important challenges that will reshape
the role of religion in contemporary society. This book provides
readers with insights that will help them better understand and
interpret this unprecedented transition.
