Introduction

Have you ever been on a crusade? Do you know the meaning of a crusade? At one time in history, crusades were very common. There were wars between Christians and Muslims with extreme atrocities and sacrifice in the name of Mohammed as well as in the name of Jesus.

Playing the role of a born-again Church Historian who has just been challenged by a Non-Christian skeptic on the cruelty of the Christians during the Crusades, you are about to embark on a quest. Having no knowledge of the Crusades, you are motivated to discover more about the Crusades, not to defend or condemn them, but to demonstrate your stance on what is authentic Christianity. In light of the teachings of Jesus and the rest of the New Testament Scriptures, should the Crusades have occurred? Are there modern-day crusades now?
