Synopsis

Explore the long arc of religious intensity, from ancient beginnings to modern times, and how power, belief, and intolerance shaped history.


This work surveys the wider world at the dawn of Christianity, the rise of church and state, and the enduring theme of persecution across cultures. It traces how false notions about religion have fueled conflict, and how the pursuit of reform and freedom has challenged despotism, superstition, and coercive authority.



  • A clear overview of the heathen world, early Christians, and the roots of religious conflict.

  • Insight into the rise of the papal system and the institutions that enforced belief.

  • Detailed discussion of the Inquisition in Spain, Portugal, and Goa, and its historical impact.

  • Analysis of how laws and social pressures shaped faith, dissent, and reform.


Ideal for readers of religious history, constitutional thought, and studies of persecution and its aftermath.
