Dying in the Law of Moses – Crypto–Jewish Martyrdom in the Iberian World: The Modern Jewish Experience

Autor Miriam Bodian
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 mai 2007
Miriam Bodian s study of crypto-Jewish martyrdom in Iberian lands depicts a new type of martyr that emerged in the late 16th century a defiant, educated judaizing martyr who engaged in disputes with inquisitors. By examining closely the Inquisition dossiers of four men who were tried in the Iberian peninsula or Spanish America and who developed judaizing theologies that drew from currents of Reformation thinking that emphasized the authority of Scripture and the religious autonomy of individual interpreters of Scripture, Miriam Bodian reveals unexpected connections between Reformation thought and historic crypto-Judaism. The complex personalities of the martyrs, acting in response to psychic and situational pressures, emerge vividly from this absorbing book."

Recenzii

"An important and timely book. . . . While a great deal of work has been done on the Inquisition, the approach taken here is very readable and up to date in its findings about this controversial institution; the intricacies of its operation are really brought home in the individual case studies." Allison P. Coudert
