Summary
What if everything you’ve been told about the Inquisition is wrong?
Behind the tales of torture, fanaticism, and fire lies a very different story — one buried under centuries of propaganda. Through 20 meticulously researched myths, Miguel Thornton exposes how Protestant polemicists and Enlightenment thinkers distorted the truth, turning a judicial institution into history’s favorite villain. Based on authentic archival records from Spain and Rome, this book restores the Inquisition’s real face — neither monster nor saint, but a mirror of Europe’s fears, politics, and ideologies.
A bold, eye-opening work that challenges everything you thought you knew about history.Book information
