Focusing on the Portuguese Inquisition, this work presents a compelling argument that its purported goal of eradicating heresy was a facade. Instead, it posits that the Holy Office aimed to create a narrative around "Judaizers," revealing the complexities of religious and cultural identity during this period. As the only English translation of Antonio Jose Saraiva's work, it offers a clear and concise examination of this historical phenomenon, making it an essential resource for understanding the intricacies of Portuguese Catholicism and its challenges.
