| Publisher Description: The Waldenses, a Christian movement of the later Middle Ages, were also know as the Waldnesians or Vaudois. During the 12th century onwards, they were persecuted as heretics and endured near annihilation in the 17th century. They were outlawed, hunted, tortured, murdered, and hated by the ruling church of their day because they lived by the truth of God's Word and did not bow to their traditions and man-made laws. They kept the light of truth burning amid the darkness of the Middle Ages. This book describes succinctly the conflicts they waged and the martyrdoms they endured in defense of their faith and their liberty. |
