Archdruid looks at a number of examples of heresies and discusses the idea that government support was more important for the success of the reformation than the printing press.

Tolerance, Intolerance, and Persecution

Santos I wrote an article on Tolerance, Intolerance, and Persecution for college and was kind enough to also submit it for the perusal of the TWH history professors too. It touches on Christianity, Islam and even Buddisism.
