About the Authors

This timely book offers a theistic approach to secular legal systems and demonstrates that these systems are neither agnostic nor atheist. Critical but succinct in its approach, this book focuses on an extensive range of liberal legal approaches to religious and moral issues, and subjects them to critical scrutiny from a secular perspective. Expertly written by a leading scholar, the author offers a rare combination of profundity of ideas and simplicity of expression. It is a ringing defense of the theistic conception of secular legal systems and an uncompromising attack on the agnostic and atheist conception.
- A succinct critical analysis of different legal approaches to religious issues, exploring how secular legal systems should treat God, religion and conscience
- Contributes to an emerging and challenging international debate on the rights and liberties of religion, beliefs, and conscience in an era of secularization
- Offers a transcultural legal paradigm for diagnosing situations and guiding global action, which can be understood by people of all cultures
