Narrow Is The Way: An Allegory Of What Was, And Is, And Might Have Been

David Couling

4.9/5 (18147 ratings)

Description:It is 1209, and the Albigensian Crusade looms. Bernard, son of a Frankish Knight Templar sets out on the long pilgrimage from Rome to Santiago de Compostla. But in the Languedoc, events, including his priestly patron's convoluted heretic-hunting schemes, cause a delay. He becomes involved with the Countess and her niece at their castle, and even more so with a local Cathar family in whose home his patron has billeted him. The Cathar 'heresy' is shrouded in obscurity, thanks to the almost total destruction of its literature and the relentless extermination of its preachers, both during the Crusade and, later in the century, by the Papal Inquisition. The resulting dearth of reliable facts about the Cathars' belief system, combined with much vilification down through the centuries, has led to speculation and controversy, even among scholars. Yet it is generally accepted that Cathar Christianity is part of the complex stream of Christian Gnosticism, reaching back to the days of the early Christians. The author has placed his Cathar characters within this historical context. The human story moves through a landscape overshadowed by forebodings of the calamity about to be unleashed upon the hapless French - or rather Occitan - Midi.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
