The democratic revolution of the past century has heightened expectations in many parts of the world about human rights, including the rights of representation and free speech, protection for women and children, and fair treatment for minorities. This book brings together leading scholars from across disciplines to explore the efforts of religious communities to advance human rights agendas, often against internal and government opposition.
