The Insult to God. A Universal History of Blasphemy from the Prophet Moses to Charlie Hebdo

The Insult to God. A Universal History of Blasphemy from the Prophet Moses to Charlie Hebdo

The historian Gerd Schwerhoff explains why people have been insulting God, prophets, and saints for over 2000 years. Those who are "up there" are almost always reviled by those who are "down here." This concerns impotence and anger against the... powerful, against a seemingly indifferent God, or against other religions. A confidently narrated history from antiquity (with Judaism and early Christianity), through the Middle Ages and the early Modern Era (with the Inquisition, heresy, and the Reformation) to the Enlightenment and current confrontations in the area of tension between Christianity, secularism, and Islam.
