Rethinking the Crusades
This chapter challenges the traditional narrative of the Crusades as a binary conflict between Christianity and Islam, advocating for a broader understanding rooted in devotional practices from Western Christendom. It emphasizes the complex interplay of cultural, political, and religious factors, arguing for a nuanced interpretation of the crusading movement beyond isolated events. The discussion urges a reevaluation of historical terminology and perspectives to better understand the multifaceted nature of this significant period in medieval history.
