Whilst such attitudes may appear draconian to modern eyes, it is clear that in the past, blasphemy was regarded as a very real threat to society. Concentrating on the Reformed city of Zurich, this study examines the cultural, social and theological aspects of blasphemy in order to better understand exactly why this should be, and to illuminate the diverse and sometimes contradictory dynamics at work.St. Andrews studies in Reformation history.BlasphemySwitzerlandZurichHistoryBlasphemyHistoryOffenses against religionSwitzerlandZurichHistoryOffenses against religionHistoryZurich (Switzerland)Church historyElectronic books.BlasphemyHistory.BlasphemyHistory.Offenses against religionHistory.Offenses against religionHistory.241/.6950949457Loetz Francisca893182MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456596703321Dealings with God2028576UNINA
