The only book of its kind, The New Inquisitions is an exhilirating
investigation into the intellectual origins of totalitarianism.
Arthur Versluis unveils the connections between heretic hunting in
the early and medieval Christianity, and the emergence of
totalitarianism in the twentieth century. He shows how 'secular'
political thinkers in the nineteenth century inaugurated a
tradition of defending the Inquisition, and how Inquisition-style
heretic-hunting later manifested across the spectrum of
twentieth-century totalitarianism. An exceptionally wide-ranging
work, The New Inquisitions begins with early Christianity, and
traces heretic-hunting as a phenomenon through the middle ages and
right into the twentieth century, showing how the same
inquisitional modes of thought recur both on the political Left and
on the political Right.
