Uri Zvi Shachar

A Pious Belligerence

Dialogical Warfare and the Rhetoric of Righteousness in the Crusading Near East

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In A Pious Belligerence Uri Zvi Shachar examines one of the most contested and ideologically loaded issues in medieval history, the clash between Christians, Muslims, and Jews that we call the Crusades. Ideas about holy warfare, he contends, were not shaped along sectarian lines, but were dynamically coproduced among the three religions.
