Religion and Political Theory

A superb collection that illuminates the theoretical stakes of recent controversies over religious diversity. It is exciting to see a new generation of scholars working at the cutting edge of debates about secularism and accommodation. This volume, carefully curated by Seglow and Shorten, provides a distinctively European perspective - a welcome addition to the US-dominated literature on religious freedom. -- Cécile Laborde, University of Oxford

In a series of fascinating studies, this volume examines how secular liberal societies should provide for the diverse religious commitments of their populations. Writing lucidly and accessibly, the contributors combine analytic precision with theoretical insight and proposals for public policy. This is a 'must-read' volume for anyone interested in the political and legal issues facing contemporary multi-faith societies. -- Peter Jones, Newcastle University
