Description: This book explores the origins and development of one of the most powerful ecclesiastical courts in history, the Inquisition. Beginning with the Church’s early history, the author follows the gradual rise of religious persecution, from its roots in the teachings of early Church Fathers to its full-blown expression under Rome’s authority. The author argues that while Jesus Christ forbade persecution based on religious beliefs, the Church increasingly adopted this practice, culminating in the establishment of the Inquisition during the 13th century. This institution, with its hallmark blend of ecclesiastical and secular power, became a formidable instrument of religious suppression, with far-reaching consequences that continue to shape our understanding of religious freedom and the boundaries between church and state.
