Michael Frassetto presents a human and very readable account." -Jeffrey Burton Russell, author, A History of Heaven, "Frassetto admirably demonstrates that many who were declared heretics have much to teach us and some may not have been as far from orthodoxy as originally thought." - Library Journal, "A remarkable contribution to our understanding of medieval society and religion by writing about several heretics, and he has done so with expertise, thoughtfulness, and even sympathy." -Hans J.
