Religious Freedom and Religious Pluralism in Africa: Prospects and Limitations - Paperback

Africa continues to be a region with strong commitments to religious freedom and religious pluralism. These, however, are rarely mere facts on the ground. They are legal, political, social, and theological projects that require considerable effort to realise. This volume compiles the proceedings of the third annual conference of the African Consortium for Law and Religion Studies and focuses on various issues which vastly effect the understanding of religious pluralism in Africa. These include, amongst others, religious freedom as a human right, the importance of managing religious pluralism, and the permissibility of religious practice and observance in South African public schools.
