Inquisition And Judaism: A Sermon Addressed To Jewish Martyrs, On The Occasion Of An Auto Da Fe At Lisbon, 1705, Also A Reply To The Sermon (1845)

""The Inquisition and Judaism: A Sermon Addressed to Jewish Martyrs, on the Occasion of an Auto da Fe at Lisbon, 1705"" is a historical text written by Diego Annunciazao Justiniano in 1845. The book is a response to a sermon given during the Spanish Inquisition, which was a period of intense persecution of Jews and other religious minorities in Spain and Portugal. The sermon was delivered to Jewish martyrs who were about to be executed during an Auto da Fe, a public ceremony of penance and punishment. Justiniano's text provides a detailed account of the Inquisition and the persecution of Jews in Portugal and Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries. He also offers a scathing critique of the Catholic Church's role in the persecution, arguing that it was driven by greed and a desire for power rather than genuine religious conviction. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is the sermon that Justiniano imagines delivering to the Jewish martyrs at the Auto da Fe. In this sermon, he offers words of comfort and encouragement to the condemned, urging them to remain steadfast in their faith and resist the pressures to convert to Christianity. The second part of the book is a response to the original sermon delivered at the Auto da Fe. Justiniano critiques the arguments made by the Catholic Church and offers a defense of Judaism and the Jewish people. He also reflects on the broader implications of the Inquisition for religious tolerance and freedom of conscience. Overall, ""The Inquisition and Judaism"" is a powerful and insightful work that sheds light on a dark period in European history. It offers a valuable perspective on the experiences of Jews during the Inquisition and the ongoing struggle for religious freedom and tolerance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
