The Crusades
The Crusades: Christendom Responds
Monty Python alum Terry Jones chronicles the Christian military's effort to recapture the Holy Land from the Muslims. The comprehensive and occasionally irreverent series mixes humor with scholarly reports and visits locales across two continents, illuminating a 200-year conflict that one theologian says, 'institutionalized anti-Semitism in Europe.' There are dramatic reenactments and comments from historians and theologians.
