The scholarship of the studies is invariably impressive.
From the Back Cover
Religious Diversity and Human Rights is an invaluable resource for readers seeking to understand how traditional religious ideas and values relate to modern ideas of human rights, how Western models are perceived in non-Western traditions, and what these traditions may have to offer in the realm of human rights. Together, the authors work to reassess both the rich and diverse resources of the major religious traditions and some of the most challenging problems of the contemporary world.
