The Fourth Lateran Council, which convened in 1215, was unprecedented in its scope and impact, and it called for the Fifth Crusade as what its participants hoped would be the final defense of Christendom. For the first time, a collection of extensively annotated and translated documents illustrates the transformation of the crusade movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrusade and Christendom\u003c\/i\u003e explores the way in which the crusade was used to define and extend the intellectual, religious, and political boundaries of Latin Christendom.

Through its copious and clear translations, this book brings to students the voices of those who experienced the crusades and their effects. Scholars will also benefit from the expert historiographical and topical discussions as well as up-to-date bibliographies.

It accomplishes the seemingly impossible task of capturing the richness and complexity of the crusade movement as it was reinvented by Pope Innocent III and further developed by his successors in the thirteenth century. Many of the documents included here are translated in this volume for the first time, and together they cast light on an astonishing variety of phenomena. From the wars against heresy in southern France to negotiations with Mongol armies on the frontiers of Asia, from highly technical papal bulls to gripping battle narratives, from the ecstatic dreams of the Children's Crusade to the mundane details of buying a ticket to the Holy Land, \u003ci\u003eCrusade and Christendom\u003c\/i\u003e opens up the legal, military, and imaginative worlds not just of the crusaders but of medieval Europe and the Middle East more broadly.
