Religious freedom is one of the most debated and controversial
human rights in contemporary public discourse. At once a
universally held human right and a flash point in the political
sphere, religious freedom has resisted scholarly efforts to define
its parameters. Taliaferro explores a different way of examining
the tensions between the aims of religion and the needs of
political communities, arguing that religious freedom is a uniquely
difficult human right to uphold because it rests on two competing
conceptions, human and divine. Drawing on classical natural law,
Taliaferro expounds a new, practical theory of religious freedom
for the modern world. By examining conceptions of law such as
Sophocles' Antigone, Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed, Ibn
Rushd's Middle Commentary on Aristotle's Rhetoric, and Tertullian's
writings, The Possibility of Religious Freedom explains how
expanding our notion of law to incorporate such theories can
mediate conflicts of human and divine law and provide a solid
foundation for religious liberty in modernity's pluralism.
