The Sacred and Sacrilege in Postsecular Serbia offers a detailed analysis of the phenomenon of blasphemy accusations in the postsecular world, with a special focus on the intriguing case of Serbia. The analysis is firmly rooted in a precisely defined theoretical and historical framework, and presents an innovative elucidation of a topic which has only marginally been tackled in academic circles in the region, while consistently connecting the concrete cases to more universal issues. This manuscript therefore represents a significant academic contribution to the interdisciplinary study of religion, not only locally or historically, but in broader conceptual frameworks as well.
