Gnosticism & Christian Mysticism

The Cathars

by Malcolm Lambert

Malcolm Lambert's historical study of the Cathars, the dualist Christian movement that flourished in southern France and northern Italy during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. He traces their origins, beliefs, organization and relationship to Bogomilism, as well as the Albigensian Crusade and the inquisitorial campaigns that led to their decline. Grounded in primary sources, it is a sober corrective to romanticized accounts and a reliable resource for students of medieval heresy.
