Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice
by James Branch Cabell - 1919 - 360 pages
"My favourite twentieth-century case is the 1920 banning of James Branch Cabell's witty, harmlessly naughty fantasy Jurgen, thanks to John S. Sumner of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. In the resulting trial, the publishers were acquitted -- partly because the judge believed the book's solemn but totally untrue introduction claiming that it was "based on the medieval legends of Jurgen".
The publicity sent Jurgen's sales sky-high, and Cabell's next book was respectfully dedicated to his benefactor John S. Sumner, who'd "glowingly advertised" him to the public. Cabell claimed to be specially impressed by Sumner's ability to unearth sexy meanings in anything: "I have applied your method to many of the Mother Goose rhymes with rather curious results ...""

The Family Shakespeare by Thomas Bowdler 1847
To bowdlerize means to self-righteously remove or modify passages one considers vulgar or objectionable. A medical doctor by the name of Thomas Bowdler, whose birthday was this day in 1754, gave new meaning to expurgation.
Dr. Bowdler gave up his medical practice to practice surgery on the works of William Shakespeare. He removed all those words “...which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a family” or which are “...unfit to be read aloud by a gentleman to a company of ladies.” He removed all the words and expressions which he considered to be indecent or impious from Shakespeare’s writings.

On Suicide by David Hume 1854
A History of the Corruptions of Christianity by Joseph Priestley 1871
Notes on Virginia by Thomas Jefferson (searchable pdf)
This is a summary view of that religious slavery, under which a people have been willing to remain, who have lavished their lives and fortunes for the establishment of their civil freedom. The error seems not sufficiently eradicated, that the operations of the mind, as well as the acts of the body, are subject to the coercion of the laws. But our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God. The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine 1896
Publication of The Age of Reason generated a storm of controversy.
The Life of Jesus Critically Examined by David Strauss
One reviewer called it "the Iscariotism of our days" and another "the most pestilential book ever vomited out of the jaws of hell." What made it so controversial was Strauss' characterization of the miraculous elements in the gospels as being "mythical" in character.
The Golden Bough by James Fraser Volume 1 1890

The book scandalized the British public upon its first publication, because it included the Christian story of Jesus in its comparative study, thus inviting an agnostic reading of the Lamb of God as a relic of a pagan religion.
Literature and Dogma by Matthew Arnold 1873
God and the Bible by Matthew Arnold 1875
His religious views were unusual for his time. Scholars of Arnold's works disagree on the nature of Arnold's personal religious beliefs. Under the influence of Baruch Spinoza and his father, Dr. Thomas Arnold, he rejected the superstitious elements in religion, even while retaining a fascination for church rituals. Arnold seems to belong to a pragmatic middle ground that is more concerned with the poetry of religion and its virtues and values for society than with the existence of God. He wrote in the preface of God and the Bible in 1875 “The personages of the Christian heaven and their conversations are no more matter of fact than the personages of the Greek Olympus and their conversations.” He also wrote in Literature and Dogma: "The word 'God' is used in most cases as by no means a term of science or exact knowledge, but a term of poetry and eloquence, a term thrown out, so to speak, as a not fully grasped object of the speaker's consciousness — a literary term, in short; and mankind mean different things by it as their consciousness differs." He defined religion as "morality touched with emotion".
Controversial Tracts on Christianity and Mohammedanism 1824 by the Rev. Samuel Lee
THE WEDDING NIGHT By Ida Craddock
Ida Craddock slashed her wrists and turned on the gas, killing herself rather than returning to court for sentencing. She had been found guilty of obscenity, the judge said her sex education pamphlet "The Wedding Night" was too obscene to show to the jury.
The Women of Mormondom by Edward Tullidge 1877 (searchable pdf)
Brigham Young insists Adam held the position of God he assigned him: “Adam is our Father and God. HE IS THE GOD OF THE EARTH. So says Brigham Young. Adam is the great archangel of this creation. He is Michael. He is the Ancient of Days. HE IS THE FATHER OF OUR ELDER BROTHER, JESUS CHRIST."

The Bible against Protestantism and for Catholicity by Lawrence Sheil 1859 (searchable pdf)
"At the present time, when bigotry is so rampant, and misrepresentation is so rife, it is absolutely necessary that the friends of religion should use their best efforts to circulate our best controversial and explanatory works. To meet the cavils of the "Know-Nothings," and also the objections 'of sincere inquiries after truth, we know of no better book than "The Bible Against Protestantism," a book of 300 pages...in which the doctrines and practices of the church are clearly proved by over ten thousand texts of Scripture from the Protestant Bible."—American Celt.

The Age and the Gospel by Daniel Moore 1865
Reason, the Only Oracle of Man: Or, A Compenduous System of Natural Religion by Ethan Allen 1854
"This book was a financial disaster and not well-received, probably because its ideas were as controversial as its author. It most clearly reflected his personality as a free thinker and an independent spirit. He tore the Old Testament to shreds and ridiculed the New. He postulated a Natural Law and the ideal of a Good God in harmony with Nature, hardly ideas that would endear him to New England." -Ethan Allen Homestead

Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk
Maria Monk and the Nunnery of the Hotel
Awful Disclosures is an anti-Catholic fraudulent work. In it, Monk claimed that nuns of the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph of the Montreal convent of the Hôtel-Dieu, whom she called "the Black Nuns", were forced to have sex with the priests in the seminary next door. The priests supposedly entered the convent through a secret tunnel. If the sexual union produced a baby, it was baptized and then strangled and dumped into a lime pit in the basement. Uncooperative nuns disappeared. Historians are unanimous in their agreement that the whole account was false.

Prolegomena to the History of Israel: With a Reprint of the Article Israel from the Encyclopedia Brittanica
by Julius Wellhausen 1885
"Wellhausen was famous for his critical investigations into Old Testament history and the composition of the Hexateuch, the uncompromising scientific attitude he adopted in testing its problems bringing him into antagonism with the older school of biblical interpreters. He is perhaps most well-known for his Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels of 1883 (first published 1878 as Geschichte Israels), in which he advanced a definitive formulation of the Documentary hypothesis, arguing that the Torah or Pentateuch had its origins in a redaction of four originally independent texts dating from several centuries after the time of Moses, their traditional author. Wellhausen's hypothesis remained the dominant paradigm for Pentateuchal studies until the last quarter of the 20th century, when it began to be challenged by scholars who saw more and more hands at work in the Torah, ascribing them to periods even later than Wellhausen had proposed.

not to know how to keep and break a law at the same time. So they inflicted _each species_ of torture once. Whosoever cannot see that this is torturing a man only once, need but consult any seminarian fresh from his Roman text-books. Or they inflicted torture once for each distinct complaint."
