Edited by Leo Lefebure, this volume explores the conflictual relationship between religions and government that has followed Constantine's grant of freedom of religion to Christians. Contributors discuss its dynamics across a range of countries and religions, and the book specifically addresses discrepancies between legal protections found in constitutions and actual government practice with regard to religion-state relations. The book is part of the Pathways for Ecumenical and Interreligious Dialogue series from Palgrave Macmillan.
