In this new paperback the Spanish Inquisition is firmly placed within a historical and religious framework as John Edwards explores its origins, its actions and its aftermath. The first two chapters are devoted to setting the scene and cover the medieval pursuit and condemnation of heretics and the shift from attempts to seek out heretics from within the existing chuch, to focusing on Jews and newly converted Jews. The events of the 15th century are played out as Edwards examines the facts, truths, motives and myths of the Inquisition and how it finally came to an end.
