About this book
In an era marked by intense debates over morality and censorship, "Is the Bible Indictable? Being an Enquiry whether the Bible Comes within the Ruling of the Lord Chief Justice as to Obscene Literature" by Annie Besant delves into the provocative question of whether sacred texts can be deemed obscene. This critical essay scrutinizes the implications of legal definitions of obscenity while exploring the tension between freedom of expression and societal norms. Besant’s analysis not only challenges the prevailing legal standards but also invites readers to reconsider the boundaries of religious literature. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work offers a compelling examination of the intersections between law, morality, and belief.
