An Inquiry Into The Nature Of The Sin Of Blasphemy, And Into The Propriety Of Regarding It As A Civil Offense (1817)

""An Inquiry Into The Nature Of The Sin Of Blasphemy, And Into The Propriety Of Regarding It As A Civil Offense"" is a book written by Robert Aspland in 1817. The book is a detailed exploration of the concept of blasphemy, its nature, and the appropriateness of treating it as a civil offense. Aspland examines the historical, cultural, and religious contexts of blasphemy, tracing its origins and evolution over time. He also explores the various ways in which blasphemy has been punished throughout history, including imprisonment, fines, and even death. Aspland argues that while blasphemy is a serious offense, it should not be treated as a civil offense, as it is a matter of religious belief and should be left to the individual's conscience. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of a contentious issue that continues to be debated to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
