This book presents a wide variety of responses by minority religions to the legal environments within which they find themselves. An international panel of experts offer examples from North America, Europe and Asia demonstrating how religions with relatively little status may resort to violence or passive acceptance of the law; how they may change their beliefs or practices in order to be in compliance with the law; or how they may resort to the law itself in order to change their legal standing, sometimes by forging alliances with those with more power or authority to achieve their goals. The volume concludes by applying theoretical insights from sociological studies of law, religion, and social movements to the variety of responses. The first systematic collection focussing on how minority religions respond to efforts at social control by various governmental agents, this book provides a vital reference for scholars of Religion and the Law, New Religious Movements, Minority Religions and the Sociology of Religion"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Religious minorities $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Religious minorities $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Europe. 650 0 $a Conflict of laws. 650 7 $a Conflict of laws $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00874831 650 7 $a Religious minorities $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094195 651 7 $a Europe $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 700 1 $a Barker, Eileen, $d 1938- $e editor. 700 1 $a Richardson, James T., $d 1941- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Reactions to the law by minority religions $d Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 $z 9781003053590 $w (DLC) 2020038720 830 0 $a Routledge Inform series on minority religions and spiritual movements. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017020747.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2FD4122686E611EB80D4A9DB35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
