Book review: Wokół koncepcji wolności religijnej [Around the concept of religious freedom], red. W. Cisło, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego, Warszawa 2022, 198 pp.

Abstract

The publication is a collective monograph, which was created in connection with the growing wave of religious persecution, especially of Christians, not only around the world but also in Europe, including Poland. The authors of the individual chapters of the monograph aim to clearly articulate religious rights, the need to respect them, and point to their sources. The reviewed publication includes a definition of the current reference to the rights of religious freedom, as well as the causes and consequences of violations of these rights, not only by individuals, but also by representatives of various social movements or even state institutions. The publication is an attempt to develop the concept of reasonable accommodation in the context of religious freedom and the prohibition of discrimination against the expression of religious beliefs.
