| Abstract | The crusades were the most dramatic expression of religious violence in the Middle Ages. In recent years there has been a growing scholarly interest in the way that medieval thinkers drew upon both the Old and the New Testament to promote, explain, justify, and celebrate crusading activity. These sessions have been created to provide a forum for scholars from many countries to share their insights into the uses of the Bible in a variety of contexts related to crusading. They will explore this theme across a wide variety of sources produced in many different theatres of war. |
