institution of government is best suited to deciding whether
religion should influence law? Should states be required to treat
religion and non-religion in the same way? How does the historical
role of religion in a society influence the modern understanding of

examines the nature and scope of engagements between law and
religion, addressing fundamental questions such as these.

law and religion to important new voices who add vital and original
ideas. From conservative to liberal, doctrinal to post-modernist
and secular to religious, each contributor brings a different
approach to the questions under discussion, resulting in a lively,
passionate and thoughtful debate that adds light rather than heat
to this complex area.

religious freedom.
