"With such a readable style, the careful synthesis of disciplines, and selfevident wealth of years of careful thought and experience on some of the most intransigent issues facing religious freedom, the authors manage to speak powerfully and authoritatively on the issues they raise. They do indeed provide conceptual clarity, skilfully synthesizing the disciplines within which they work. This book is a masterpiece and a must-read for academics and practitioners alike interested in the philosophical, political, legal, and constitutional implications at both national and international levels, of the right to religious freedom in the 21st century." (Oxford Journal of Law and Religion) "Offering a measured, deliberative, and erudite engagement with a range of critiques leveled against human rights discourses in general, and with regard to religious freedom in particular, Religious Freedom Under Scrutiny represents an informed perspective on a contentious set of debates. Scholars and practitioners alike will find the volume important reading." (Christopher Dole, Amherst College)
