Freedom of religion is an issue of universal interest and scope.
However, in the last two centuries at least, the philosophical,
religious and legal terms of the question have been largely defined
in the West. In an increasingly global world, widening our
knowledge of this right's roots in different cultural and legal
systems becomes a priority. This Handbook seeks to attain this goal
through a better understanding of the historical roots and
expressions of the right to freedom of religion on the one hand
and, on the other, of its theological background in different
religious traditions. History and theology provide the setting for
the analysis of the politics of freedom of religion, that is, how
this right is used in the context of the dialogue/confrontation
between countries placed in different cultural regions of the
world, and of the legal strategies and tools that have been
developed and are employed to protect and foster the right to
freedom of religion. Behind these legal and political strategies,
there is an ongoing debate about the nature of this right, whose
main features are explored in the final section. Global, historical
and interdisciplinary in approach, this book studies the new
relevance of freedom of religion worldwide and develops suitable
categories to analyze and understand the role that freedom of
religion can play in managing religious and cultural diversity in
our societies. Authored by experts, through the contributions
collected in these chapters, scholars and students will be able to
broaden and deepen their knowledge of the right to freedom of
religion and to develop the ability to go beyond the borders of the
different cultural environments in which this right took shape and
developed.
