And both are problems for courts. This book presents an interpretation of how religion and human rights interrelate in the legal context, and how this relationship might be reconceived to make this relationship somewhat less fraught. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eLitigating Religions\u003c\/em\u003e, an essay adapted by Christopher McCrudden from the Alberico Gentili Lectures given at the University of Macerata, Italy, examines how the resurgent role of religion in public life gives rise to tensions with key aspects of human rights, in particular freedom of religion and anti-discrimination law, and how these tensions cannot be considered as simply transitional. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe context for the discussion is the increasingly troubled area of human rights litigation involving religious arguments, such as wearing religious dress at work, conscientious objections by marriage registrars, admission of children to religious schools, prohibitions on same-sex marriage, and access to abortion. Christopher McCrudden argues that, if we wish to establish a better dialogue between the contending views, we must address a set of recurring problems identifiable in such litigation. To address these problems requires changes both in human rights theory and in religious understandings.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristopher McCrudden, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Human Rights and Equality Law, Queen's University Belfast\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristopher McCrudden\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Human Rights and Equality Law at Queen's University, Belfast; William W Cook Global Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School; and a practising barrister at Blackstone Chambers in London.
