Summary
Dive into the forgotten history of the Amalricians , a radical medieval sect branded heretical by the Catholic Church. Followers of philosopher Amalric of Bena , the Amalricians believed in a mystical union with God and a controversial idea: that God was not separate from creation. Discover how their daring pantheistic beliefs challenged Church orthodoxy — and led to their dramatic suppression in the early 13th century.
