Freedom of religion is a topic of universal interest and scope, but in the last two centuries, at least, the philosophical, religious, and legal terms of the question have been largely defined in the West. In an increasingly globalized world, it is essential to broaden our knowledge of the roots of this right in different cultural and legal systems. This Handbook aims to achieve this goal by better understanding the historical roots and expressions of the right to freedom of religion on the one hand and, on the other, its theological background in different religious traditions.
History and theology provide the setting for analyzing the politics of freedom of religion, which involves how this right is used in the context of the dialogue/confrontation between countries located in different cultural regions of the world and the legal strategies and tools developed to protect and foster the right to freedom of religion. Behind these legal and political strategies, there is an ongoing debate about the nature of this right, whose main features are explored in the final section.
Global, historical, and interdisciplinary in approach, this book studies the new relevance of freedom of religion worldwide and develops suitable categories to analyze and understand the role that freedom of religion can play in managing religious and cultural diversity. Authored by experts, through the contributions collected in these chapters, scholars and students will be able to broaden and deepen their knowledge of the right to freedom of religion and develop the ability to go beyond the borders of the different cultural environments in which this right took shape and developed.
