African Conceptions of Human Dignity
Contributors join together in this tenth ACLARS volume to propose a framing of human rights in terms of African conceptions of human dignity. Following on the signing of the Punta del Este and Botswana Declarations of Human Dignity for Everyone Everywhere in 2018 and 2023, contributors discuss human dignity as an African and indigenous concept grounded in relationship, community, and an overarching ethic of Ubuntu. Chapters further explore human …
Religion, State, and the Fragility of Democracy
In a range of facets and ways, the authors contributing to this issue attest to the persistence of that most perennial of law and religion issues: the relation between religion and the state. They do so at a time when Americans, of a variety of political stripes and in a highly polarized society, express a range of doubts and distrust of government and the state. They also do so at a time when governments and states around the world are trending …
Race, Equality, Citizenship, and Belonging
The following essays are part of a collaboration between the Journal of Law and Religion and Political Theology. Editors from both journals selected the two texts interrogated and interpreted here—James Baldwin’s essay “Equal in Paris” and the United States Supreme Court decision in the case United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898). The purpose of the collaboration was twofold. The first purpose was to see what new interpretations arise when scholars…

Law, Religion and the Family in Africa
The family is a crucial site for the interaction of law and religion the world over, including Africa. In many African societies, the family is governed by a range of sources of law, including civil, constitutional, customary and religious law. International law and human rights principles have been domesticated into African legal systems, particularly to protect the rights of women and children. Religious rites and rituals govern sexuality, marr…
Law, Religion, and Same-Sex Relations in Africa
Some years back, around 2013, I was asked to write an article on the uses of the Bible in African law. Researching references to the Bible and biblical law across the African continent, I soon learned that, besides support for arguments by a few states in favor of declaring themselves “Christian nations,” the main use was in emerging debates over homosexuality and same-sex relationships—almost exclusively to condemn those relationships. In Januar…
Law, Religion and the Environment in Africa
This volume explores themes of ecotheology, ecofeminism, environmental pollution and degradation, climate change, human and environmental rights, sustainable development, human-animal relations through totem and taboo, sacred sites and spaces, and other environmental topics in ways that add immeasurably to the study of African environmentalisms and the interaction of law and religion. In terms of religion, the capability of humans not only to sin…
Law, Religion and Human Flourishing in Africa
Under Caesar's Sword
“We are all comparativists now!” has been something of a mantra in the field of religious studies and related disciplines, especially in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Clearly, at a very pragmatic level, we would all need to know more about those who might purport to attack us under the guise of religion henceforth. Though comparative religious studies had existed, usually under the rubric of the subfield of “histor…
Religion, Law and Security in Africa
Blasphemy as the act of insulting a deity must be distinguished from two other acts: defamation of religions and incitement to religious hatred. Depending on the geographic region, the national legislations consider these three categories differently. Therefore it makes sense to compare different approaches. \n \nProf. Berkmann’s article does so, comparing the European Court of Human Rights on one hand - which in Art. 10 ECHR has developed a form…
Progress on Freedom of Religion or Belief
Threats to and violations of freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) have been increasing around the world for the last two decades. This has prompted governments to implement initiatives to promote FoRB and to condemn violations. Drawing on data and findings of the Commonwealth Initiative for Freedom of Religion or Belief (CIFoRB), this article presents an analysis of recent legislative, parliamentary, and executive branch initiatives in the U.S., …
Freedom of Religion or Belief Across the Commonwealth
This paper addresses freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) issues that have been emerging in the Asian Commonwealth, including religious minorities, violent extremism, religion and development, rising secularism, and religious equality and around nondiscrimination. Pakistan and India have turned their attention to addressing the situation of minorities. Other nations, Bangladesh, with concerns about rising Islamism and secularism; Sri Lanka, with …
Religious Pluralism, Heritage and Social Development in Africa
“Graceful Pillars”
In this essay, analyzing the “daughter track” of daughter-provided elder care, through feminist philosopher Lisa Tessman's “burdened virtues” framework, I examine the ethical questions surrounding gender, sacrifice, and elder care on the daughter track, particularly concerning contexts of virtue and necessity. Second, I examine how Tessman's “burdened virtues” framework applies to the “daughter track” situation, particularly regarding virtues bor…
Apostasy Through Doubt and Dissent
What if instead of studying religions by texts, history, and practices we studied them by what they fear? I first had this thought in considering philosophical differences between Plato's Republic and Laws . What accounted for the shift from the profound idealism of the Republic to the apparent authoritarianism of the Laws ? The standard answer is that Plato was born in a time of troubles, at the tail end of the oligarchic regime of the Thirty Ty…
Law and Religion in Africa
Between Blasphemy and Critique
On Valentine's Day, 1989, novelist Salman Rushdie was driven into hiding in England by a fatwa issued by the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran decrying his 1988 novel, The Satanic Verses , as “blasphemy against Islam” and demanding Rushdie's execution. Twenty years later, Yale University Press refused to publish cartoon representations of the Prophet Muhammad in political scientist Jytte Klausen's book, The Cartoons That Shook the World. That book analy…

Religious and Legal Pluralism in Recent African Constitutional Reform
Something unexpected has been happening in Africa—and not just Northern Africa, the locus of democratic revolutions since January 2011, when a winter's discontent produced an early Arab Spring. Over the last several years, several sub-Saharan African nations have held democratic elections, produced new constitutions, and even partitioned themselves in relative peace, despite the often dire predictions of foreign governments, media, and election-m…
Religion and Human Rights
The relationship between religion and human rights is both complex and inextricable. While most of the world's religions have supported violence, repression, and prejudice, each has also played a crucial role in the modern struggle for universal human rights. Most importantly, religions provide the essential sources and scales of dignity and responsibility, shame and respect, restraint and regret, restitution and reconciliation that a human right…
