Re-imagining Religion and Belief: 21st Century Policy and Practice - Hardcover

"A timely and innovative analysis highlighting the need to re-imagine religion and belief as integral parts in the construction of a new modernity." Anders Backstroem, Uppsala University

With growing diversity of religion and belief in every sector comes the potential for new dialogues across previously impermeable policy and disciplinary silos. This volume brings together leading international authors to critically consider these challenges within legal and policy frameworks. It challenges policy makers to re-imagine religion and belief as an integral part of public life that contains resources, practices, forms of knowledge and experience that are essential to a coherent policy approach to diversity, enhanced democracy and participation.
