Overview

This book brings together leading international scholars of law and religion to provide an overview of current issues in State-religion relations.

Part One

The first part of the collection offers a picture of recent developments in key countries and regions.

Part Two

The second part is focused on Europe and, in particular, on the Nordic States and the post-communist countries where State-religion systems have undergone most profound change.

Part Three

The third and final part is devoted to four issues that are currently debated all over the world: the relations between freedom of expression and freedom of religion; proselytism and the right to change religion; the religious symbols; and the legal status of Islam in Europe and Canada.

Intended Audience

The work will be a valuable resource for academics, students and policy-makers with an interest in the interaction between law and religion.
