Sommario/riassunto

Faith in the public realm takes an explicitly multi-faith perspective,



exploring the controversies, policies and practices of 'public faith'. It questions perceptions of a fixed divide between religious and secular participants in public life and challenges prevailing concepts of a monolithic 'neutral' public realm.
