Law and Religion


Description

The global resurgence of religion in the latter part of the twentieth century contradicts the supposed inevitability of the secularization process. Modernization was meant to spell the decline of religion. Instead, as distinguished sociologist of religion, Peter Berger, noted recently, 'secularization theory has been falsified...The world today is massively religious and it is anything but the secularized world that had been predicted by many analysts of modernity.' The major world religions, particularly in their conservative, orthodox or traditionalist forms-as well as multifarious new religious movements-are making increasingly difficult claims upon modern democratic states. Fundamental liberal concepts of tolerance and neutrality are receiving renewed and critical scrutiny in the wake of such claims. As the new millennium commences this volume explores a range of topics concerning the complex interaction between law and religion. What evidence concerning 'cults' should be admitted in trials involving minority religious groups? Are blasphemous works of art the law's concern? What is the likely impact of the new UK Human Rights Act 1998 upon religious organizations? To what extent does the the United Nations advance religious freedom. Can one learn much from the morass of American cases on religion? Scholars from the United Kingdom, the United States, The Netherlands and Australasia expose the recurrent dilemmas and tensions in this field and analyze important issues of religious freedom and courts' treatment of religious controversy. The European and American approaches to religious liberty are highlighted as is the international dimension to religious rights.

In "Midnight in Europe, " Alan Furst paints a spellbinding portrait of a continent marching into a nightmare--and the heroes and heroines who fought back against the darkness. You don't need to have the talents of a rock star or the wisdom of Yoda to effectively and naturally live a life on mission with God. And you do not have to add a big Law and Religion free pdf list of new activities to your life! Instead, it is the everyday ordinary things done with greater gospel-intentionality...slowly over time...that make all the difference. Biblical and super practical, Small Is Big, Slow Is Fast helps readers respond to Jesus' call to each of us to be a missionary right where we live-in our own families and neighborhoods. It shows you step by step the essential elements that create environments for organic kingdom growth and multiplication. Whether you're looking to lead your own family or are taking first steps toward starting a church that has discipleship and mission at its core, you will discover the secret to starting out small and going (seemingly) slower-and not feeling guilty about it. And you'll be encouraged to trust that when you lay the right foundations, multi-plication will occur and will always be "faster" and more successful in the long run.
