This social history book addresses the opposition between Judaism and Christianity as representative religions of two societies in modern Spain. The Christian society, with the monopoly of political power, exerts an implacable repression on the Jewish society, which is persecuted to extinction. Julio Caro Baroja contributes to the clarification of peninsular crypto-Judaism, a controversial topic in Spanish history.
