medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Claudio,
My Italian is not very good, so please forgive me if Ihave
misunderstood the nature of your question, but you might look at
H.E.J. Cowdrey, 'The Genesis of the Crusades: The Springs of Western
Ideas of Holy War', in The Holy War, ed. Thomas Patrick Murphy,
Columbus 1976, pp. 9-32. This traces the change in attitudes towards
military activity in the eyes of the church, and the significant
change is located not with Innocent III but with his predecessor,
Alexander III.
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
