Gods Jury
From Cullen Murphy editor at large of Vanity Fair" "Gods Jury" is a chilling and powerful account of how the techniques used by the Spanish Inquisition created our modern world. For centuries states have used their power to censor watch manipulate and punish. "Gods Jury" argues that the Inquisition - the Catholic body that existed for over 700 years - is not a medieval oddity but is intrinsically bound up with modernity. From Vatican archives to Guantanamo Bay and the Third Reich Cullen Murphy shows how the Inquisitions techniques - record-keeping bureaucracy and a terrifying sense of certainty - are now standard operating procedure and that the battle between private conscience and outside forces is the central contest of the modern era. Cullen Murphy is

"Lucid and provocative blistering cogent and powerful...A persuasive argument that we still live in the world the inquisition made - a world of us and them of moral self-righteousness and intellectual intolerance". ("Sunday Times"). "Beguiling and horrifying.. .a book rich in stories and imaginative connections". (John Cornwell author of "Hitlers Pope"). "A grand and scary tour of inquisitorial moments racing back and forth in history from Torquemada to Dick Cheney". (Adam Gopnik "New Yorker"). "A dark but riveting tale told
with luminous grace". (Michael Sandel author of "Justice" and "What Money Cant Buy"). ""Gods Jury" is a reminder and we need to be constantly reminded that the most dangerous people in the world are the righteous". (Mark Bowden author of "Black Hawk Down" and "Guest of the Ayatollah")."
