"A History of the Inquisition of Spain; vol. 4" by Henry Charles Lea explores the tangled relationship between religious experiences and church power in Spain long ago. The book looks at mysticism, a spiritual practice, and how the Inquisition, a powerful religious court, reacted to it. It explains the core ideas of mysticism and shows why the church saw it as dangerous because some mystics had beliefs different from the church's teachings. Through real-life stories of people like Francisca Hernández and MarĂa Cazalla, the story demonstrates how those who practiced mysticism were put on trial. This volume shows the struggle when individual spiritual beliefs clashed with the authority of the church, offering a glimpse into a time when faith and power were often at odds.
