From the back cover: "In this book Mr. Runciman is concerned with distinguishing the beliefs of the early Gnostics, the Paulicans, the Bogomils, the Patarenes, and the Cathars; establishing the existence in them of an organic dualist tradition; and showing that - in Bosnia as in Languedoc - theological arguments and social and political considerations were quickly mingled: 'When a sect is persecuted it is because the State is convinced that the sect is undesirable.' His method is partly theological, partly historical."
