With contributions by leading scholars, this volume compares blasphemy laws within a number of Western liberal democracies and debates the legitimacy of these laws in the twenty-first century. Including comprehensive and up-to-date comparative country studies, this book considers the formulation of blasphemy bans, relevant jurisprudential interpretations, the effect on society, and the ensuing convictions and penalties where applicable. It provides a useful historical analysis by discussing the legal-political rationales behind the recent abolition of blasphemy laws in some Western states. Contributors also consider the challenges to the tenability of blasphemy laws in a selection of well-balanced theoretical chapters. This book is essential reading for scholars working within the fields of human rights law, philosophy and sociology of religion, and comparative politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeroen Temperman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108403433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108403436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.54d","brand":"Jeroen Temperman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947765203199,"sku":"9781108403436","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_335f2fef-14ab-490e-a2eb-89302d842e59.jpg?v=1681520663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blasphemy-and-freedom-of-expression-jeroen-temperman-9781108403436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
