Globalization and migration increasingly challenge the political
and judicial systems of Western nation states. The more or less
secular judicial systems of these states are challenged by the
traditional religious and judicial practices of immigrants,
especially in the case of problems of family law, such as marriage
divorce and inheritance. The present articles focus on the
relationship between religion and law in multicultural societies by
supplying comparative examples of how the practice of diverse law
systems in modern states may lead to conflict or co-existence. The
articles will not only consist of examples from various Western
contexts, but will also contain comparative examples from a few
post-colonial, non-Western societies with a long experience in
dealing with problems relating to multiculturalism and religious
pluralism. This collection of papers on "Law and Religion in
Multicultural Societies" is the product of a lecture series given
in Copenhagen in Autumn 2006. The authors were each invited to
deliver a lecture in a weekly series at the Department of
Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, University of Copenhagen. The
participants were students, teachers and interested people from
outside the University. The series provided an opportunity for the
lecturers to interact with a wider public, and they later revised
the texts of their lectures in the light of the feedback and
discussions which were held after their lectures. This collection
of papers thus addresses a fundamental problem in human society.
The tension between law and religion has existed from ancient times
but has gained global scope and intense urgency in recent years.
