"History of the Waldenses" by J. A. Wylie is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the Waldenses, a Christian sect that resisted Roman Catholic domination throughout history, detailing their conflicts, martyrdoms, and faith. It explores both their historical significance and the impact of their struggles on the concept of religious liberty in Italy. The opening of the text establishes the Waldenses as a distinct group that maintained their independence and faith amidst the encroachment of Roman Catholicism. Wylie begins by discussing the ancient roots of the Waldensian church and its geographical stronghold in the Italian Alps, painting a vivid picture of the beautiful yet formidable landscape that served as both refuge and battlefield. He highlights the early struggles against Papal authority, noting the Waldenses’ commitment to freedom of conscience and their role in the broader context of Protestantism. The introduction sets the foundation for understanding the Waldenses' unique position in Christian history, as well as their enduring legacy in the fight for religious liberty.
