During the thirteenth century, the widespread conviction that the Christian lands in Syria and Palestine were of utmost importance to Christendom, and that their loss was a sure sign of God's displeasure with Christian society, pervaded nearly all levels of thought. Yet this same society faced other crises: religious dissent and unorthodox beliefs were proliferating in western Europe, and the powers exercised, or claimed, by the kings of Europe were growing rapidly.
The sources presented here illustrate the rising criticism of the changing Crusade idea. They reflect a sharpened awareness among Europeans of themselves as a community of Christians and the slow beginnings of the secular culture and political organization of Europe.

This is a textbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: Christian Society and the Crusades, 1198-1229: Sources in Translation, including "The Capture of Damietta" by Oliver of Paderborn (The Middle Ages Series) (Paperback)
This is a textbook, it's not something to just pick up and read for the fun of it. I've personally used it to pass Western Civ. Anyway, it's slightly dated (1971) but is still easier to read and understand then some. It's also not too long. The chapters are laid out in a way that make it easy for learing it buy event or getting info for papers. I hope this is helpful info.
