In spite of the debate about secularization or de-secularization,
the existential-bodily need for religion is basically the same as
always. What have been changed are the horizons within which
religions are interpreted and the relationships within which
religions are integrated. This book explores how religions continue
to challenge secular democracy and science, and how religions are
themselves being challenged by secular values and practices. All
traditions - whether religious or secular - experience a struggle
over authority, and this struggle seems to intensify with
globalization, as it has brought people around the world in closer
contact with each other. In this book internationally leading
scholars from sociology, law, political science, religious studies,
theology and the religion and science debate, take stock of the
current interdisciplinary research on religion and open new
perspectives at the cutting edge of the debate on religion in the
21st century.

This volume exposes some of the various issues raised in relation
to Muslim communities in Europe by putting the intellectual and
legal traditions into dialogue. It brings together a number of
scholars of Shari'a and Islamic law with counterparts from the
parallel European disciplines of hermeneutics, philosophy and
jurisprudence, to explore how the processes of theological-legal
thinking have been expressed and are being expressed in a more or
less common intellectual framework. It provides a valuable
reference for all those interested in exploring how Muslims and
non-Muslims view Shari'a law, looking at ways the European legal
systems can provide some form of accommodation with Muslim customs.
