The Possibility of Religious Freedom: Early Natural Law and the Abrahamic Faiths

Description: The Possibility of Religious Freedom by Karen Taliaferro Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Drawing on classical natural law to bridge the gaps between human and divine law, Taliaferro expounds a new, practical theory of religious freedom for the modern world, and lucidly explains the challenges involved. This book will appeal to scholars of religion, and law, as well as classical Judaism, Christianity and Islamic studies. Publisher Description Religious freedom is one of the most debated and controversial human rights in contemporary public discourse. At once a universally held human right and a flash point in the political sphere, religious freedom has resisted scholarly efforts to define its parameters. Taliaferro explores a different way of examining the tensions between the aims of religion and the needs of political communities, arguing that religious freedom is a uniquely difficult human right to uphold because it rests on two competing conceptions, human and divine. Drawing on classical natural law, Taliaferro expounds a new, practical theory of religious freedom for the modern world. By examining conceptions of law such as Sophocles Antigone, Maimonides Guide of the Perplexed, Ibn Rushds Middle Commentary on Aristotles Rhetoric, and Tertullians writings, The Possibility of Religious Freedom explains how expanding our notion of law to incorporate such theories can mediate conflicts of human and divine law and provide a solid foundation for religious liberty in modernitys pluralism.
