Leading legal scholar John Witte, Jr. explores the role religion
played in the development of rights in the Western legal tradition
and traces the complex interplay between human rights and religious
freedom norms in modern domestic and international law. He examines
how US courts are moving towards greater religious freedom, while
recent decisions of the pan-European courts in Strasbourg and
Luxembourg have harmed new religious minorities and threatened old
religious traditions in Europe. Witte argues that the robust
promotion and protection of religious freedom is the best way to
protect many other fundamental rights today, even though religious
freedom and other fundamental rights sometimes clash and need
judicious balancing. He also responds to various modern critics who
see human rights as a betrayal of Christianity and religious
freedom as a betrayal of human rights.
