Synopsis

This book details the Inquisition's operations from the early 13th century through the 19th century. The author traces the origins of the inquisition during a period where violent Manichaean sects spread rapidly through Europe, undermining the authority of both the state and the church. The book discusses the role of the Inquisition in identifying, persecuting, and punishing heretics, primarily members of these Manichaean sects, as well as the controversy surrounding the Inquisition's methods and legacy. By closely examining the Inquisition's inner workings, the book sheds light on the religious and political dynamics of a pivotal period in history.
