'A comprehensive, fascinating survey which brings together leading experts working at the cutting edge of contemporary debates about comparative constitutional law and religion.' -- Cecile Laborde, University of Oxford, UK 'Deftly edited by Susanna Mancini, this volume is a great synthetic overview of some of the most important constitutional issues of our time. It will be indispensable for anyone seeking to understand the role of contemporary constitutionalism.' -- Robert Post, Yale Law School, US
