"'RELIGARE was an important project on an important topic for contemporary Europe, namely legal adaptation to the new and growing religious diversity. This book summarises the key findings of the project and throws the doors open to thirty responses from legal, political science and sociology scholars as well as activists, legal practitioners and policy makers, including some of the leaders in the field. The result is a state of the art compendium.' Tariq Modood, University of Bristol, UK 'The RELIGARE project has produced this full, illuminating and stimulating book on the legal issues revolving around the ever-increasing religious diversity in Europe. The more unsettled our continent and world become, the more important it is to hear and heed the results of RELIGARE’s work on the large themes and broad prospects which are explored here with such care. This book should be in the hands of legislators, jurists, scholars and students.’ Robin Griffith-Jones, King's College London, and Master of the Temple, London, UK ’The RELIGARE project stands as a milestone in the contemporary debate on the role of religion in the public square. Far from being deferential, this book is a thorough critique of the RELIGARE findings and policy implications. The authors offer a remarkable piece of expertise and an invitation to go further.’ Marco Ventura, University of Leuven, Belgium ""This collection gathers together the principal findings of the three-year RELIGARE project, which dealt with the question of religious and philosophical diversity in European law regarding employment, family life, use of public space, and state support mechanisms. The book consists of two main parts: the principal findings of the project and short commentaries by scholars and practitioners."" Law and Social Inquiry Journal"
