Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the use of prohibited and expurgated books by the church of Rome, as a means to retain their power and control over people. The book provides an overview of antient and contemporary papal policies relative to controlling the contents of books and their distribution, demonstrating the efficacy of these policies in their broader historical or literary context. The author examines the thematic depth and ideas presented in these policies, which are aimed at restricting access to knowledge challenging their views and suppressing voices of dissent. This work is a crucial examination of the church of Rome and their attempts to stifle intellectual freedom, with insights that remain relevant to the present day, when freedom of speech and access to information are as important as ever.
