Reviews

'The content of the book is excellent with all the authors delivering interesting and informative discourses in their specific areas...a very valuable addition to the lamentably small amount of work in this increasingly important area of study.' Journal of Contemporary Religion '... this is a very useful book that contains some timely contributions to the emerging debates about religion, law, and human rights...this volume is welcomed as a very relevant contribution to the field.' Culture and Religion 'This is a scholarly and valuable contribution to the literature on religion in contemporary society... it will provide much useful material for specialists in the field of religion in society, especially those concerned to explore issues of law, justice and equality.' World Faiths Encounter '... of interest to scholars of comparative law and judicial politics, including those searching for case studies of the interaction of law and pluralism or the role of the international human rights movement in the legal politics within individual nation-states.' The Law and Politics Book Review
