Podcasts about Crusades

In this episode, let's discuss what philosophies contributed to the idea of the Crusades and how those ideas formed and shaped what history has called "The First Crusade." Let's get into the ideas of a "just war" and a "holy war" and see if we can try to make sense of it all. What are your thoughts? Let's discuss!

Why did Crusaders travel from Western Europe to Gaza and The Levant in the 11th century? Who was Saladin and how did he conquer the Franks? How did the Mamluks defeat the Mongols in the 1200s and usher in an era of prosperity for Gaza? Anita and William are joined by Jonathan Phillips, Professor of Crusading History at Royal Holloway, to discuss the epic era of the Crusades in Gaza, and the lesser-known but incredibly impactful Mamluk dynasty that followed.

Twenty years ago, director Ridley Scott returned to the historical epic, the same genre that won him an Oscar in 2000 for Gladiator. Swapping the Roman colosseum for the Middle East in the time of the Crusades, Scott assembled an all-star cast including Orlando Bloom, Eva Green, Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis, Brendan Gleeson, Liam Neeson, and an uncredited Edward Norton. A post-9/11 movie about Christians fighting Muslims would have seemed an easy win at the box office, but the film performed poorly stateside while doing well in Arabic-speaking countries, especially Egypt. Scott blamed the failure on studio meddling; he has since disowned the theatrical cut, and claims instead that his director's cut is the definitive version. But art, like peace in the Middle East, can be elusive.

AMDG. Catholic author Susan Peek joins the Kolbecast to discuss her mission: bringing the stories of lesser-known saints alive for teens and young adults. Susan found herself frustrated searching for morally-sound but still engaging stories for teenagers: “the plots might be exciting, the writer might be excellent— and yet there's so few things that we can give to teenagers to read.”Her first novel began as a movie script about Saint Camillus, whose struggle of conversion (and reconversion) has inspired many young readers. Today, Susan's collection of books for teens includes Saint Cloud of Gaul: The Prince Who Trades Kingdoms, St Dymphna of Ireland: The King's Prey, and Crusader King: A Novel of Baldwin IV and the Crusades, among many others. If you are already a fan of Susan or are just hearing her name for the first time, this episode is a must-listen for parents of Catholic teens!   Links mentioned & relevant:  Susan Peek's website Catholic Writers Guild Catholic Teen Books  Related Kolbecast episodes:  249 Stories Crafted with Care from Kolbe Academy Press 267 Time Traveling through History: Bringing the Past to Life for Young Learners  Have questions or suggestions for future episodes or a story of your own experience that you'd like to share?

En el año 1095 el Santo Padre Urbano II llamó a las armas a toda la cristiandad europea con una clara misión: recuperar los Santos Lugares que habían caído en manos del Islam. Casi de inmediato miles de caballeros y nobles cosieron en sus atuendos la cruz de Cristo para iniciar una peregrinación armada que acabase con el dominio musulmán de Tierra Santa. Meses de largas caminatas, combates y matanzas obtuvieron su resultado en la conquista de Jerusalén y la fundación de cuatro nuevos Estados en Ultramar, el Outremer. Entre ellos, se encontró el Reino jerosolimitano, país en el que algunos pretendieron instaurar un régimen teocrático, otros uno laico. A lo largo de sus años de existencia siempre vivió en un constante estado de precariedad, luchando por su supervivencia en un entorno geográfico hostil y rodeado de enemigos siempre dispuestos a incursionar y recuperar esa tierra recientemente perdida ante el filo cristiano. A lo largo de dos episodios recorreremos la historia del reino jerosolimitano desde los motivos que desencadenaron la conquista latina de Tierra Santa hasta la muerte de Balduino II, bajo cuyo gobierno el reino quedó relativamente asegurado frente a los ataques de sus hostiles vecinos.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk assassination, we delve deep into today's culture of anger and division. From criticizing public figures and the Pope to missing out on personal responsibilities, we examine the zeal misplaced in societal judgments. The discussion touches upon recent events, forgiveness, and reconciliation, referencing Pope Leo's recent call for unity and understanding. We also highlight the impact of dehumanizing others through social media and reflect on historical events like the Crusades to address modern political and religious dynamics. Join us for an honest conversation about challenging our viewpoints, fostering dialogue, and promoting genuine faith in everyday life. Featuring: Fr. Simon Esshaki, Fr. Tristan Farida, Abbot Ankido Sipo, Fr. Andrew Younan

The history of Christianity and Islam has a long and complex history spanning several centuries, from Christians living among Muslims in Baghdad during the Golden Age of Islam to the Crusades and on into the 21st century. What does the future hold for Christian and Islamic relations? On the next two episodes of the Profile, we will be talking with an expert in the fields of Christianity and Islam, Dr. Wafik Wahba about his new book Global Christianity and Islam - Exploring History Politics and Beliefs. Wafik will give us a comprehensive overview of how Christianity and Islam have engaged and clashed since Islam emerged in the 7th century A.D. From Dr. Wahba's website at Tyndale University: Dr. Wahba first came to Tyndale as adjunct professor of theology in 1998, having previously taught contextualized theology at the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo, Egypt, as well as having pastored churches in Chicago and Toronto. Dr. Wahba has taught theology and intercultural studies in the United States, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America. Dr. Wahba is one of 31 contemporary reformed theologians who have contributed to The Future of Reformed Theology, edited by Willis, David & Welker, Michael, (Eerdmans, 1999). Dr. Wahba has also published in Zur Zunkunft Der Reformierten Theologie, (Neukirchener Verlag, 1998). He co-led the unit on Theological Education for Mission at the 2004 Forum of Lausanne Committee in Pattaya, Thailand and is one of the authors of “Effective Theological Education for World Evangelization” Lausanne Occasional Paper No. 57, (May 2005). Dr. Wahba serves on the Board of Directors for several international Christian organizations. Related Links: Access additional Watchman Fellowship resources related to this week's podcast:  Watchman book: What the Qur'an Really Teaches about Jesus, by James Walker Watchman Fellowship's 4-page Profile on Islam by James Walker:www.watchman.org/Muslim   Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Shi'a Islam by Dr. Mike Edens: www.watchman.org/Shia  Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Ahmadiyya Islam by Eric Pement: www.watchman.org/Ahmadiyya   Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on The Bahai Faith by Robert Pardon: www.watchman.org/Bahai  Watchman Fellowship's complete Profile Notebook demo video: www.watchman.org/Demo   Additional ResourcesFREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.PROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (around 700 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/notebook.

[DONATE WITH PAYPAL] Greg explores the medieval Catholic ideal of chivalry—a powerful blend of manly courage, martial skill, and Christian virtue aimed at defending the vulnerable and imitating Christ. He defines the term's origins and meaning, drawing on etymology and historical context. Featuring quotations from sources like Ramon Llull's "Book of the Order of Chivalry," St. Bernard of Clairvaux's writings on the Templars, and Thomas Aquinas on fortitude, Greg unpacks how this vision integrated faith and action. Through examples of saints like St. George, St. Michael, St. Joseph, St. Martin of Tours, Godfrey of Bouillon, and St. Louis IX, plus chivalric figures in Arthurian legends and Dante's Divine Comedy, he reflects on chivalry's role in a holistic Catholic worldview. He also critiques the modern shift away from robust manly virtues toward emotive expressions in Christianity, including the erosion via standing armies and the longing among Protestants and evangelicals for godly masculinity, calling for a reclaiming of this timeless ideal.

Darrell Harrison engages in a compelling Question and Answer session moderated by Jim Osman, addressing critical cultural and theological issues facing the church today. This discussion explores Islam's growing threat to Western civilization, the false narrative that Wokism is dead, and the dangerous infiltration of cultural Marxism into evangelical churches. Harrison challenges Christians to understand their enemies by studying Islamic history, Marxist ideology, and progressive political movements. Questions Include:What has happened in your life since you were here in 2022? Bring us up to speed.A couple of weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. What are your thoughts on the sentiment that "if you go to church this Sunday and your church doesn't mention Charlie Kirk, find a new church"?You talk about Islam being a threat to the church or to America today. You think it's the most significant threat we face? Why? How long has that been the case, and what started that?Is there anything particular in American civil life in the last 50 years that you think has accelerated that drift? The election of any one specific person, for instance?Wokism, DEI—it seems that with Trump 2.0, that is on the retreat. Do you agree with that assessment or not?My last question: White guys like me are not allowed to say the word nigger or nigga. How do you suggest that we as Christians handle this so that we can get past this, get over this, get beyond it?Some people say that the Crusades were evil. What's your response to that?What resources can we use to educate ourselves on cultural Marxism and how it's infiltrating the church? ★ Support this podcast ★

During the 11th Century, Christendom was torn in two as Constantinople and Rome finally parted ecclesiastical ways. Still, the west did answer the cry for aid from the East with the first crusade, which successfully repelled the Muslim invaders. The brutal conduct of the crusaders however, cemented the East-West divide that had occurred earlier in the century.

Greg Jenner is joined in Egypt by historian Professor Islam Issa and comedian Athena Kugblenu to learn all about the history of science and philosophy in the city of Alexandria. Founded by ancient conqueror Alexander the Great, Alexandria from its earliest days was a city at the forefront of scientific discoveries, philosophical enquiry and religious debate. At its height, the city's famous library housed nearly one million texts, and attracted thinkers like Hypatia of Alexandria, Euclid and Heron (who invented the steam engine). This episode tells the story of this incredible site of knowledge and culture, taking in its epic founding, the rise of Christianity and its impact on the city, its fate during the Crusades, the coming of Napoleon, and its role in the rise of the Arab nationalism movement. If you're a fan of the history of science, brainy philosophers and incredible architectural achievements, you'll love our episode on Alexandria. If you want more from Athena Kugblenu, check out our episodes on the Haitian Revolution and Njinga of Ndongo and Matamba. Or for another journey through a historical city, listen to our episode on Istanbul in the Ottoman Golden Age. You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.

The boys drink and review "I Just Crush A Lot" a blueberry hibiscus tart ale from Calvert Brewing. In 1054, a dramatic split forever changed the face of Christianity. Known as the Great Schism, it divided the Church into Roman Catholicism in the West and Eastern Orthodoxy in the East. But the break didn't happen overnight—it was centuries in the making.In this video, we'll explore:* The immediate crisis: papal legates and Patriarch Michael Cerularius trading excommunications.* Political and cultural tensions: Rome vs. Constantinople, Latin vs. Greek, and the rise of Islam.* Authority disputes: papal supremacy in the West vs. conciliar authority in the East.* Theological differences: the Filioque controversy, Monophysitism, and contrasting spiritual emphases.* Divergent practices: from unleavened vs. leavened bread, to clerical celibacy and fasting rules.* The aftermath: how the Crusades, especially the sack of Constantinople, deepened the divide.The Schism was not just about doctrine—it was about culture, politics, and identity. Understanding it helps explain why the Christian world looks the way it does today.#GreatSchism #1054 #ChristianHistory #Catholic #Orthodox #ChurchHistory #Byzantine #Rome

“How should Catholics approach Muslims?” In this episode, we explore effective evangelization strategies and discuss the complexities of interfaith dialogue, including the implications of Muslims worshipping in churches and the beliefs of Ahmadi Muslims in India. We also tackle the historical context of the Crusades and the differing perspectives on their necessity. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish!

Understand history and you will understand today. How marginalized groups serve a purpose. Some common sense Roman history applies. Is that God really represent love? What if all trannies are still his children? All life is created in his image. The Crusades meant heads on pikes for unbelievers. Once country swore to irradicate the invented enemy of Christianity. When faith is not iron clad, conversations won't happen. When hypothetical situations offend people. Understanding connections to God. Trans just want to belong while they look for a purpose. Popping the cherry of Solidarity.inc. Check out those 990's. How protest groups are funded. Deep pockets and global connections. The program to push forward transgenders. There are groups calling themselves delegations, in every state. They are jumping behind free speech. Understand how crazy they are and how Charlie was evil. Most of these are academics. Separating wheat and chaff. Good Christians don't shun people. They understand, and then pray for compassion and grace.

What do our genes really reveal about who we are? In this episode, Dr. Pierre Zalloua, geneticist and author of Ancestors, takes us deep into the DNA of the Levant. We explore how personal experience, history, and science intersect to shape identity. From Phoenician expansion to the Crusades, from consumer genetic testing to cultural memory, Dr. Zalloua shows how ancestry is far more complex and more unifying than we might think. We discuss surprising genetic signatures in the Levant, the dangers of oversimplifying identity, and the balance between biology and lived experience. Whether you're curious about your own heritage or the shared human story, this episode offers a profound look at how genetics can illuminate and complicate our understanding of ourselves. #Genetics #Identity #Lebanon #Heritage #Levant #HumanStory #Podcast

What if stepping into a voting booth is less about freedom and more about forcing your will on your neighbor? Craig sits down with writer Jeb Smith to wrestle with a question many Christians and libertarians rarely stop to ask: Is voting consistent with the values we claim to hold? Jeb, author of Is Libertarianism Consistent with Voting?, argues that casting a ballot contradicts the very heart of libertarian “live and let live” principles. And for Christians, the stakes are even higher. Jesus never told us to hand power over our neighbors to Caesar. He called us to serve, not to rule. The conversation digs into how politics twists even kind and gentle people into something unrecognizable, why voting legitimizes a corrupt system built on coercion, and how stepping away from political participation might actually free us to love our neighbors better. As Jeb puts it, “Since I stopped voting, I get along with people much better, even those with completely different political opinions.” This isn't just another debate about left vs. right. It's a challenge to reimagine what it means to follow Christ in a world obsessed with power. Tune in, and ask yourself honestly: are you serving Christ when you pull that lever, or are you just baptizing Caesar's game with Christian language?

He draws parallels between the two groups, showcasing their similarities in tactics and the shared experience of being outnumbered in a violent world.Notable Assassination Attempts:Listeners will be enthralled by recounts of failed assassination attempts, including the botched attack on Prince Edward, which underscores the human side of these historical figures and their often chaotic methods. Steve's anecdotes bring to life the drama and unpredictability of medieval politics.The Legacy of the Assassins and Templars:As the discussion unfolds, Steve reflects on the enduring legacy of both groups and their impact on contemporary perceptions of loyalty, commitment, and the nature of power. He invites listeners to consider the broader implications of their stories in today's world.

There's so much more to the figure of St. George than his battle with a dragon. Legends also tell of his grisly martyrdom, capture of a demon, and postmortem abilities to cure madness through contact with his relics. In the Holy Land, there is even a tradition syncretizing St. George with a a supernatural figure of Muslim legend. We begin with a look at a modernized take on the St. George legend, the annual Drachenstich, or “dragon-stabbing," held in the Bavarian town of Furth im Wald. Beginning in 1590 with a performer representing the saint riding in a church procession, George was soon joined by a simple, canvas dragon, which over time evolved into the the world's largest 4-legged robot used in the event today. 19th-century Drachenstich in Furth im Walld Mrs. Karswell  next reads for us the primary source for the dragon story, Jacobus de Voragine's collection of saint stories compiled around 1260, known as the Golden Legend. It popularized the tradition that George was a Christian soldier in in the Roman (Byzantine) army, born in Cappadocia, in central Turkey, and executed for refusing to bow to Imperial gods.  There is also a princes to be rescued from the dragon but no king gives George her hand in marriage, as you might expect.  Though Voragine set this episode in Libya, this setting  was not really retained i the  tradition. As one of early Christianity's "soldier saints," George held particular appeal for soldiers of the Crusades. We hear of two incidents of George leading Crusaders to victory as recounted in the Golden Legend and the Gesta Francorum (deeds of the Franks). When in 1483  William Caxton's English translation of the Golden Legend appeared, anecdotes of British interest were added, including George's connection to English knightood and The Order of the Garter. Elizabethan writer Richard Johnson featured George in his 1596 volume, Seven Champions of Christendom, elements of which were borrowed into mummers plays in which George became a hero.  We hear snippets of these. Returning to Germany, we learn how George was also said to have encouraged the armies of Friedrich Barbarossa at the Battle of Antioch during the Third Crusade. We then delve a bit more into the history of the Drachenstich performances. Some folksy details from 19th-century newspapers documenting the tradition are also provided. We then return to the Golden Legend for an account of George's martyrdom.  The location of this episode is not specified, but George's pagan nemesis here can be identified with Dacianus, the Roman prelate who governed Spain and Gaul. The tortures endured run the gamut from rack to hot lead, all of which are supernaturally endured until the saint is ultimately beheaded. Divine retribution in the form of fire falling from heaven is also included. Next, we investigate earlier sources adapted into Voragine's dragon story, the first known being an 11th-century manuscript written by Georgian monks residing in Jerusalem. George's background as a soldier from  Cappadocia is identical, as is the endangered princess, though the victory over the beast lacks elements of swordplay and is largely accomplished through prayer.  In this version, George is also responsible for the founding of a church complete with healing well. From the same manuscript, we hear a few more miracle stories, the "Coffee Boy" legend, George's defeat of a loquacious demon, a cautionary tale of a murderous and greedy hermit ostensibly, and a charming story involving a unhappy boy, George, and a pancake. We then take a look at the oldest St. George text probably written in Syria around the year 600. It's known as the “Syriac Passion of St. George," and details an extraordinary series of tortures so fantastical as to be declared heretical by the Church in the Decretum Gelasianum, probably within a century of the story's composition. 14th-cent Russian depiction of St. George's Martyrdom Digging a little deeper,

The Crusades are often remembered as heroic quests to reclaim the Holy Land — but the truth is far darker.

Friends of the Rosary,Every August 20, we honor St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153), abbot, theologian, poet, orator, and writer, and Doctor of the Church, who perfected the monastic rule that would become the model for 163 monasteries of the Cistercian reform.St. Bernard was an apostle of the Crusades, reconciler of kings, leader of peoples, and counselor of popes. He studied grammar, poetry, literature, rhetoric, dialectics, Scripture, and theology.He also held a profound devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, continually seeking her intercession and seeing her as our Mediatrix and as the Star of the Sea who guides us through the darkness of life. The prayer of the Memorare is attributed to him.He wrote De Consideratione, and many of his sermons are excerpted in the Breviary.Notably, his treatise “On Loving God” articulated the reasons we should love God to an immeasurable degree. In all of his works, Abbot Bernard sought to teach to draw our hearts to conversion and love. He regularly emphasized the personal nature of God as revealed in Jesus Christ, our call to mystical union with Him, the need for humility, the benefits of asceticism, and the central role that the Blessed Virgin Mary must play in our lives.He was a theologian, contemplative, and mystic whose central goals were to love God and to draw others into that same love.Many miracles were attributed to him. He had the charism of spiritual discernment and was able to read the inner thoughts and intentions of people.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 418The Saint of the day is Saint Stephen of HungarySaint Stephen of Hungary’s Story The Church is universal, but its expression is always affected—for good or ill—by local culture. There are no “generic” Christians; there are Mexican Christians, Polish Christians, Filipino Christians. This fact is evident in the life of Stephen, national hero and spiritual patron of Hungary. Born a pagan, he was baptized around the age of 10, together with his father, chief of the Magyars, a group who migrated to the Danube area in the ninth century. At 20, he married Gisela, sister to the future emperor, Saint Henry. When he succeeded his father, Stephen adopted a policy of Christianization of the country for both political and religious reasons. He suppressed a series of revolts by pagan nobles and welded the Magyars into a strong national group. He asked the pope to provide for the Church's organization in Hungary—and also requested that the pope confer the title of king upon him. He was crowned on Christmas day in 1001. Stephen established a system of tithes to support churches and pastors and to relieve the poor. Out of every 10 towns one had to build a church and support a priest. He abolished pagan customs with a certain amount of violence, and commanded all to marry, except clergy and religious. He was easily accessible to all, especially the poor. In 1031, his son Emeric died, and the rest of Stephen's days were embittered by controversy over his successor. His nephews attempted to kill him. He died in 1038 and was canonized, along with his son, in 1083. Reflection God's gift of holiness is a Christlike love of God and humanity. Love must sometimes bear a stern countenance for the sake of ultimate good. Christ attacked hypocrites among the Pharisees, but died forgiving them. Paul excommunicated the incestuous man at Corinth “that his spirit may be saved.” Some Christians fought the Crusades with noble zeal, in spite of the unworthy motives of others. Today, after senseless wars, and with a deeper understanding of the complex nature of human motives, we shrink from any use of violence—physical or “silent.” This wholesome development continues as people debate whether it is possible for a Christian to be an absolute pacifist or whether evil must sometimes be repelled by force.
