Reviews and Awards
"A showcase of 15 brilliant essays on religious freedom by leading experts from around the world." --Muscat Daily
"A good editor brings together a range of experts to explore a topic from a variety of perspectives. The resulting book covers more ground with excellence than could be accomplished by a single author. Allen Hertzke, Presidential Professor of Political Science at the University of Oklahoma and past president of Christians in Political Science, is a good editor." --Christians in Political Science
"A judicious and thought-provoking collection, deserving of a wide audience... Taken together, the essays teach the importance of attending to the specific historical processes by which religious freedom is realized in each particular place. One size does not fit all; one Declaration cannot change the world." --First Things
"Allen Hertzke is among the most distinguished scholars in the rapidly expanding field of religious freedom studies.
