Raoul Vaneigem’s “Resistance to Christianity”

With its stunning wraparound cover, featuring a detail from Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, this edition of Raoul Vaneigem’s landmark “Resistance to Christianity: A Chronological Encyclopaedia of Heresy from the Beginning to the Eighteenth Century,” translated by Bill Brown (ERIS, 2023), is beautifully produced and, indeed, encyclopedic, presenting the full panoply of heresies that defied the Catholic Church, with evenhanded clarity and thoroughness.
