The tension between blasphemy laws and the freedom of expression in
modern times is a key area of debate within legal academia and
beyond. 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.
