In Good Faith: Freedom of Religion under Article 10 of the EU Charter
Freedom of religion, its interaction with the prohibition of discrimination, and the self-determination of churches are embedded in a complex national and European constitutional framework and remain as pertinent and contested as ever. This edited volume examines the latest significant developments from an EU perspective, placing freedom of religion at the centre of analysis and critically assessing its operationalisation and interpretation in light of the EU Charter.
As with all our Verfassungsbooks, the digital edition is Open Access. A print copy can be ordered at your local bookstore or from major online retailers, with worldwide delivery available.
“Religious people inhabiting liberal societies are subject to two authorities: the demands of their political community, on the one hand, and the precepts of their faith, on the other. Although religion imbues human existence with meaning, it is secular laws that determine how we ought to get along with each other. Both matters are of utmost importance, and fundamental rights law is supposed to resolve collisions. The concise and crisp contributions to this volume explore more recent developments in European Human Rights Law and European Union law. Readers will not only encounter notorious rabblerousers, such as the headscarf, they will also experience some controversy among distinguished scholars in the field.”
