Persecution And Tolerance

Persecution And Tolerance is a book that contains a series of lectures delivered by Mandell Creighton before the University of Cambridge in 1893-1894. The book explores the themes of persecution and tolerance throughout history, examining the ways in which different societies have treated those who hold different beliefs or belong to different groups. Creighton explores the religious, political, and social factors that have contributed to persecution and intolerance, and argues that tolerance is a necessary component of a healthy society. The book provides a detailed historical analysis of various instances of persecution, including the persecution of Christians in ancient Rome, the Inquisition, and the persecution of Jews in medieval Europe. Creighton also examines the role of the state in promoting or suppressing tolerance, and the ways in which individuals and groups have worked to promote greater understanding and acceptance of diversity. Overall, Persecution And Tolerance is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of an important topic in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
