The field of law and religion studies has undergone a profound transformation over the last thirty years, looking beyond traditional relationships between State and religious communities to include rights of religious liberty and the role of religion in the public space.
This handbook features new, specially commissioned papers by a range of eminent scholars that offer a comprehensive overview of the field of law and religion. The book takes on an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from anthropology, sociology, theology and political science in order to explore how laws and court decisions concerning religion contribute to the shape of the public space.
Key themes within the book include:
- Religions symbols in the public space;
- Religion and security;
- Freedom of religion and cultural rights;
- Defamation and hate speech;
- Gender, religion and law;
This advanced level reference work is essential reading for students, researchers and scholars of law and religion, as well as policy makers in the field.
