Since its appearance, Henry Kamen's book has become an indispensable reference for understanding the history of the Spanish Inquisition. This revised and updated edition incorporates recent research and places the Inquisition in a broader context, considering the role of the Church, the State, and civil society. Kamen challenges the traditional view that presents the Inquisition as the sole protagonist of the dramas of the time, offering a more complete and nuanced perspective. This analysis not only illuminates the past but also helps us understand the forms of control and coercion that persist in the world today, remembering that the agreement and cooperation of ordinary people were, and still are, an essential component of any Inquisition.
