The Long Room Hub, Trinity College Dublin, presents a public lecture entitled

Blasphemy: Historical anachronism or modern crime?

by Professor David Nash, Department of History, Oxford Brookes University, UK.

The lecture will take place from 4:00pm to 5:30pm on Tuesday, 20 April 2010 next, in the Swift Lecture Theatre (Room 2041A), Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin (map here).

David Nash is the author of Blasphemy in Modern Britain 1789-present (Ashgate Publishing, 1999 | Amazon) and Blasphemy in the Christian World (Oxford University Press, 2007 | Amazon) and I am told that all are welcome to attend (though it is probably best to contact the Hub to be sure). I’m really looking forward to this; it is just one of many forthcoming events organised by the Hub, especially their fascinating Trinity Week events (next week, from 12 to 17 April) under the banner of Ideas For the Future.
