Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical evolution of laws created to suppress blasphemy and sabbath-breaking, as well as the rash of prosecutions that followed. The author argues these laws were originally designed to maintain social order rather than morality and that it was not until the late 17th century that they were used to suppress religious dissent. Drawing connections between the politics of the period and the persecution of non-conformist religious practice, this book places a particular emphasis on the moral and social problems that arose when these laws were used to punish the poor and politically marginalized. The author concludes that these laws were ultimately ineffective, both in preventing religious dissent and in promoting morality.
