Exploring the duality of Thomas More as both a saint and a persecutor, this work delves into his religious writings, which feature intense critiques of heresy. Betteridge places More's contributions within a wider cultural and historical framework, drawing comparisons to significant late medieval vernacular theology. The book advocates for a reevaluation of More's legacy, challenging established narratives and offering new insights into his complex character and the impact of his beliefs on the period.
