Description: "Censorship of religious and philosophical writing is as old as history and as current as today's headlines, Many of the world's major religious texts, including the Bible, the Talmud, the Koran, and others, have been suppressed, condemned, or proscribed at some time. Works of secular literature that touch upon religious beliefs or reflect dissenting views have also been suppressed. This work profiles the censorship of many of these works."--Publisher description.
