The Inquisition: The Quest for Absolute Religious Power

By Kenneth Bartolotta and Don Nardo

Religion can be a force for good, but when those in command seek to increase their control, it can become a dangerous tool. This volume explores the political power the Catholic Church possessed in medieval Europe and the lengths it went to in order to keep and expand that influence. Full-color photographs, quotes from primary sources, and a timeline of important events supplement the main narrative to give readers a better understanding of the perils that can occur when an institution abuses its power.
