Reviews

...the book is worthwhile reading and an original source of information and analysis of the relevant legal, political and anthropological implications of an issue that Europe, as political and legal entity, and its Member States cannot defer to tackle.' Religion and Human Rights Religion and modernity meet in the European workplace. The implications are many and varied. The contributions to this timely volume are concerned with the legal dimensions of these encounters. They merit very careful scrutiny.' Grace Davie, University of Exeter, UK 'Throughout Europe, religion in the workplace is perceived as self-evident in some contexts, and as hugely problematic in others. The increasing number of legal scholars and practitioners who confront this issue will find in this book numerous pathways along which to form their own legal opinion, and to help shape the as yet undecided legal approaches in many European countries.' Eva Brems, Ghent University, Belgium
