Opis

What are the rights of religious institutions? Should those rights extend to for-profit corporations? Houses of worship have claimed they should be free from anti-discrimination laws in hiring and firing ministers and other employees. Faith-based institutions, including hospitals and universities, have sought exemptions from requirements to provide contraception. Now, in a surprising development, large for-profit corporations have succeeded in asserting rights to religious free exercise. The Rise of Corporate Religious Liberty explores this "corporate" turn in law and religion. Drawing on a broad range perspectives, this book examines the idea of "freedom of the church," the rights of for-profit corporations, and the implications of the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby for debates on anti-discrimination law, same-sex marriage, health care, and religious freedom.

The Rise of Corporate Religious Liberty is an excellent collection of articles addressing the many facets of group religious freedom as well as the related issues that have arisen in our recent debates. The quality of their contributions is exceptionally high, and together the books chapters provide a representative and balanced sampling of the varied viewpoints that make debates about corporate religious liberty some of the richest and most interesting in religion clause jurisprudence.
