Reviews

'Readers are sure to find this multi-faceted analysis of the constellation of social and legal questions surrounding religious liberty powerfully illuminative. These vital issues have recently assumed increasing importance, domestically and internationally, and this penetrating coverage of the terrain deserves both its place in the literature and a wide readership.' David Baggett, Professor of Philosophy, Liberty University, USA 'Dr. Menuge has assembled an impressive and diverse group of contributors to address one of the most pressing issues of the day: religious liberty and the law. The book's survey of legal, religious, and philosophical traditions around the world make this a must read for any serious student of the subject.' John Bursch, Bursch Law PLLC 'While everyone else is running around talking about secondary issues, this book raises the questions that matter most: Is religious liberty a basic human need, and what assumptions about the universe and human nature are necessary to justify it? Religious Liberty and the Law cuts through both popular hysteria and superficial ideology to show us what is really at stake in these debates.' Greg Forster, Trinity International University, USA
