Beyond Catholicism : Heresy, Mysticism, and Apocalypse in Italian Culture (Palgrave Studies in Cultural and Intellectual History)

In particular, they explore how religious discourse has unfolded within Italian culture in the context of shifting paradigms of rationality, authority, time, good and evil, and human collectivities.
