Moore Professor R. I., 2014
This book explores the intense medieval European focus on heresy in the centuries following the first millennium. R. I. Moore examines the motivations and anxieties of those who prosecuted this war, investigating the beliefs and practices deemed heretical, their origins, and the perceived threat they posed. Once a rarely discussed concept, heresy became a common accusation, leading to the establishment of institutions dedicated to its suppression. These fears profoundly shaped European society and resulted in significant persecutions.
