""The Israel of the Alps"" is a historical account of the persecution of the Waldenses, a Christian movement that originated in the 12th century in what is now modern-day France and Italy. The book, written by Alexis Muston, chronicles the struggles and hardships faced by the Waldenses as they attempted to maintain their faith and way of life in the face of intense persecution from the Catholic Church and secular authorities. Muston provides a detailed overview of the Waldensian movement, including their beliefs, practices, and organization. He also delves into the political and social context of the time, exploring the various factors that contributed to the persecution of the Waldenses, such as religious intolerance, economic competition, and political power struggles. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific period or event in the history of the Waldenses. Muston draws on a variety of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and official documents, to provide a rich and vivid portrait of the Waldensian experience. Overall, ""The Israel of the Alps"" is a comprehensive and compelling account of one of the most fascinating and important chapters in the history of Christianity. It sheds light on the struggles of a marginalized religious community and offers insights into the broader social and political forces that shaped the world in which they lived.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1852 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
