In the second half of the twelfth century, the Catholic Church
became convinced that dualist heresy was taking root within
Christian society and that it was particularly strong in southern
France. The nature and extent of this heresy and the reaction of
the Church to the perceived threat have been the focus of extensive
research since the mid-nineteenth century, research which has
become especially intense in the last decade. Malcolm Barber's
second edition of The Cathars (which first appeared in 2000) brings
readers up-to-date with the challenges to previous conclusions of
recent scholarship. At the same time, the wider implications of the
subject remain relevant, most importantly the fundamental questions
raised by the belief in the existence of evil, the ethical problems
presented by the use of coercion to suppress forms of dissent
believed to threaten the social and religious fabric, and the
distortion of the past to underpin present-day policies and
arguments.
