Censorship of religious and philosophical speculation 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 touching upon religious belief or reflecting dissenting views have also been suppressed. "Literature Suppressed on Religious Grounds, Revised Edition" profiles the censorship of many such essential works of civilization. The 14 entries new to this edition include extensive coverage of the "Harry Potter" series, which has been frequently banned in the United States on the grounds that it promotes witchcraft, as well as entries on two popular textbook series, "The Witches" by Roald Dahl, "Women Without Men: A Novel of Modern Iran", and more.
