Examining the law and public policy relating to religious liberty
in Western liberal democracies, this book contains a detailed
analysis of the history, rationale, scope, and limits of religious
freedom from (but not restricted to) an evangelical Christian
perspective. Focussing on United Kingdom, the United States,
Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and EU, it studies the interaction
between law and religion at several different levels, looking at
the key debates that have arisen. Divided into three parts, the
book begins by contrasting the liberal and Christian rationales for
and understandings of religious freedom. It then explores central
thematic issues: the types of constitutional frameworks within
which any right to religious exercise must operate; the varieties
of paradigmatic relationships between organized religion and the
state; the meaning of 'religion'; the limitations upon individual
and institutional religious behaviour; and the domestic and
international legal mechanisms that have evolved to address
religious conduct. The final part explores key subject areas where
current religious freedom controversies have arisen: employment;
education; parental rights and childrearing; controls on
pro-religious and anti-religious expression; medical treatment; and
religious group (church) autonomy. This new edition is fully
updated with the growing case law in the area, and features
increased coverage of Islam and the flashpoint debates surrounding
the accommodation of Muslim beliefs and practices in Anglophone
nations.
