"The Uses of the Bible in Crusader Sources sets out to understand the ideology and
spirituality of crusading by exploring the Biblical imagery and exegetical interpretations
which formed its philosophical basis. Medieval authors frequently drew upon scripture
when seeking to justify, praise, or censure the deeds of crusading warriors on many
frontiers. After all, as the fundamental written manifestation of God's will for mankind,
the Bible was the ultimate authority for contemporary writers when advancing their
ideas and framing their world view. This volume explores a broad spectrum of biblically-derived
themes surrounding crusading and, by doing so, seeks to better comprehend a thought
world in which lethal violence could be deemed justifiable according to Christian
theology. Contributors are: Jessalynn Bird, Adam M. Bishop, John D. Cotts, Sini Kangas,
