Offering an interdisciplinary, international and philosophical
perspective, this comprehensive Research Handbook explores both
perennial and recent legal issues that concern the modern state and
its interaction with religious communities and individuals.
Providing in-depth, original analysis the book includes studies of
a wide array of nation states, such as India and Turkey, which each
have their own complex issues centred on law, religion and the
interactions between the two. Longstanding issues of religious
liberty are explored such as the right of conscientious objection,
religious confession privilege and the wearing of religious
apparel. The contested meanings of the secular state and religious
neutrality are revisited from different perspectives and the
reality of the international human rights protections for religious
freedom are analysed. Timely and astute, this discerning Research
Handbook will be a valuable resource for both academics and
researchers interested in the many topics surrounding law and
religion. Lawyers and practitioners will also appreciate the
clarity with which the rights of religious liberty, and the
challenges in making these compatible with state law, are
presented. Contributors include: R. Ahdar, F. Ahmed, R. Albert, R.
