Recenzje

'She has written a book well worth a read, which aims to accomplish something few scholars take the time to do: not only question the way in which the paradigm of freedom of religion is structured, but actually restructure it to fit a cross-border, cross-discipline, and cross-cultural audience. The renaissance of universality provides a challenge to the era of relativism, and Strong has done a fine job in writing such a piece of work.' Emma Ahlm, Journal of Law and Religion
