The relationship between law and religion has traditionally been
analysed according to two basic paradigms. One has focused on the
relationship between religious communities and the State (the
Church/State paradigm), while the other has concentrated on the
relationship between the State and the individual (the
liberal-individualist or civil liberties paradigm). This book
enriches the analysis of law and religion in society by emphasising
a third and complementary analytical dimension involving the
relationship between religious communities and religious
individuals. In particular, the contributors explore the various
facets of the multiple tensions that exist in the legal
relationships between religious organisations, State and adherents
in the period leading up to the third Christian millennium. Against
the background of the complex and sometimes contradictory responses
of religious organisations and the State to the Human Rights Act,
this interdisciplinary collection draws on contributions from
leading scholars active in the field of religious rights and the
interaction of law and religion based in the UK, USA, Canada, New
Zealand and elsewhere, and makes a timely and significant
contribution to international debates in a variety of academic
disciplines. Contributors explore international concerns over
religious liberty, focusing particularly on the boundaries of
ethnicity and religious community, the status of the 'established'
Churches in the UK, and the proper place for religious
organisations under generally applicable legal regimes of
non-discrimination. Themes discussed are closely related to wider
interests within legal and socio-legal studies involving gender,
discrimination, equality, community and the nature and limits of
individualism and individual legal rights.
