HIST 335 - Crusades

Institution:

College of Charleston

Subject:

History

Description:

This course is intended to introduce students to that great meeting of Christian and Islamic civilizations in the Middle Ages known as the Crusades. Often dismissed as a simple "mistake" in the history of Christianity or as a horrific catalyst to modern radical Islam's condemnation of the West, crusading was in fact a complex phenomenon that changed enormously over the course of the Middle Ages. The Crusades are a lens through which we can examine not just warfare but attitudes toward religion, social order, monarchy, and many other elements of both western and near eastern civilization.
