The New Inquisitions by Arthur Versluis
A critical study tracing how the mindset and mechanisms of historical inquisitions were transformed into modern forms of ideological enforcement, arguing that demonizing dissent, manufacturing conspiracies, and policing thought played a central role in the rise of totalitarian movements; the book examines intellectual currents, political myths, and cultural anxieties that turned heterodoxy into heresy and shows how fear-driven campaigns against perceived enemies undermined pluralism and helped legitimize authoritarian politics.
