Dear all:

I have pleased to report the publication of a special issue in the Journal of Religion and Violence: "Buddhism, Blasphemy, and Violence."

While there has been previous work on Buddhism and blasphemy, this is the first time such an issue has been collectively addressed and framed in the contemporary period. 

The table of contents for the articles are, as follows (the introduction is open access):

warmly,

Michael
