[Dan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good read about some of the history of the inquisition. While he tries to temper some of the issues I believe overall he is critical where it should be. In a time that the church has and should repent of it is important to read about the good, the bad, and the ugly of how the human element of the church has had an impact in our world. Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy. Amen.
