Description
Religion and the Public Sphere: New Conversations explores how religion contributes to public life today. This book brings together diverse scholars to explore various aspects of religion in the public realm, from law and liberalism to security and immigration. It looks beyond traditional debates around radicalisation to examine how religion can inform public discourse. The contributors engage with complex issues, including the role of religion in shaping laws and policies, its impact on environmental concerns, and its relationship with science and politics. By exploring these topics, Religion and the Public Sphere: New Conversations sheds new light on the ways in which religion intersects with contemporary debates. This book offers a fresh perspective on the role of religion in public life, one that is grounded in rigorous scholarship and open to new ideas.
