Drinan-priest, scholar, lawyer, politician, activist, and ethicist-has spent his life working to strengthen human rights. In this important book, Father Drinan explores the state of religious freedom worldwide, arguing that international law and legal institutions have not gone far enough to protect religious freedom. The international community, says Father Drinan, has been slow to recognize the urgent need of balancing the requirements of a pluralistic society with the demands of religious freedom. Despite numerous proclamations from the United Nations and from individual nations about the importance of religious freedom, says Father Drinan, there is still no covenant, legally binding instrument, or world tribunal to monitor freedom of religion. Drinan explores the status of religious freedom in certain Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and Communist societies whose doctrines may promote intolerance. And he asserts that the silence of international law allows nations to continue to punish persons who practice a faith viewed unfavorably by the government. 517 3 $aCan God and Caesar coexist 606 $aFreedom of religion 606 $aFreedom of religion (International law) 615 0$aFreedom of religion. 615 0$aFreedom of religion (International law) 676 $a341.4/832 700 $aDrinan$b Robert F$01710699 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808919303321 996 $aCan God & Caesar coexist$94101519 997 $aUNINA
