Samenvatting

This is the fourth volume of a series entitled `Current Legal Issues' that are published each Summer as a sister volume to `Current Legal Problems'. The interaction of religious practice and the law raises a number of difficult and fascinating issues. What exactly do we mean by religious faith? To what extent are the Courts competent to pass judgement on disputes arising within religious organizations? Are some religious faiths more legitimate than others? Should the law grant special privileges to religious believers? - for example exemption from provisions in human rights legislation which would otherwise restrict their activities.
