Rezensionen

"This collection of essays ... is one of the latest scholarly attempts to grapple with the questions arising from recent events and the trends that highlight the perennial issues of the seemingly competing regimes of the rule of God and the rule of modern civil law. ... The book overall offers to readers a useful ... contribution toward a liberal cosmopolitan perspective on the relationship of religious conviction and the liberal political order." (Stephen Wolfe, Journal of Church and State, Vol. 58 (3), 2016)
