Summary "The Inquisition" by E. Vacandard is a critical and historical study of the coercive power of the Church, written in the early 20th century. This scholarly work delves into the history of the Inquisition, providing an examination of its origins, development, and ethical considerations from the perspective of Christianity, particularly in relation to heresy. Vacandard aims to approach the subject with objectivity, moving beyond the judgments of contemporary Catholic apologists. The opening of the work lays the groundwork for a thorough exploration of the Inquisition, starting with a preface that emphasizes the need for honest and unflinching historical analysis. Vacandard articulates the challenge of addressing the controversial nature of the Inquisition while critiquing previous historical accounts that were biased. He highlights the responsibility to assess the institution from a moral and religious standpoint, aiming to set the narrative straight by identifying the origins and rationale behind the Church's actions against heresy from the early days of Christianity through to the Renaissance. This opening portion indicates that the book will present an academic and critical evaluation of how the Inquisition evolved and its implications on religious practice and societal order.
