Synopsis
This book tells the story of the courageous, quiet resistance in the Vaudois Alps of the Waldensian Church against the tyranny of the all-powerful Roman Catholic Church. The author provides a window into the historical and societal context that created this tense drama and examines the inner thoughts of both the persecutors and the persecuted. The work is a meditation on the nature of faith and its power to give strength in even the darkest of times, as well as the inherent dangers and potential for violence in all organized religious institutions. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion, the power of faith, or the complex relationship between church and state.
