Christendom

the split still had occurred only on the basis of authoritative struggle and differences in religious practices? It also makes me grasp its connection to Filioque. The linguistic differences associated with the Estrangement of the East and West Christendom contributed to conceptual variation that eventually drifted to the misunderstanding of the Filioque. Filioque controversy was one of the biggest issues in terms of doctrine. In this, the Eastern Church objected to the Western…

will summarize the article “The Renaissance Popes Provoke the Protestant Secession” from The March of Folly by Barbara Tuchman. Her article tells of the extravagance and negligence of the Papacy under Leo X which brought about the splintering of Christendom. Tuchman begins her article describing the opening ceremonies of the new Medici Pope, in which had been spent “one-seventh of the reserve Julius had left in the treasury” . During just the parade, Leo demonstrated “Medici munificence” by…

In 1095, an order for Christendom to fight for the Holy Land was issued from Pope Urban II. This preceded what was to become many years of Holy War. Christians were challenged to recapture the Holy Land and push back the infidels. Some historians see the Crusades as part of a defensive war against Islamic invasion, some see them as part of a conflict at the borders of Europe, and others see them as aggressive, papal driven expansion efforts by Western Christendom.

Las Casas also rebuttals Sepúlveda’s second claim: the Indians need intervention because of their use of barbarous society and practices. First off, Las Casas analyzes whether or not Spain has jurisdiction to intervene in this matter. He claims that under temporal jurisdiction, spiritual matters are not matters of the state for idolaters living in the Christian kingdom. Moreover, idolaters living outside the Christian kingdom are neither problems of the state nor the church. Even when looking at…

The horrors and aftermath of World War I shook European Protestantism to its core. The promises and hopes of Protestant liberalism seen in the nineteenth century evaporated as Europe, seen as the cradle of Christendom, moved beyond Christendom. In this gap, what were once strongholds of Protestantism such as Germany, Scandinavia, and Great Britain witnessed a rise in secularism and skepticism. The theological response to the rise of secularism is seen in the work of Karl Barth, the son of a…

Introduction Responding to the call for “Kritik der Kritik” of Ratzinger, Jeffrey explains the historical relationship between biblical criticism and politics. The study reveals that the first one can be seen in medieval Islamic world, not in Christendom surprisingly, and he introduces subsequent biblical criticisms in secular world, clarifying how they has been influenced by political situations.

things. The genuine creator of the Fourth Crusade was the well known as Pope Innocent III. Youthful, excited, and driven for the greatness of the Papacy, he revived the arrangements of Pope Urban II and looked for afresh to join the strengths of Christendom against Islam. No ruler or lord addressed his summons, however various knights took the crusader's pledge. None of the Crusades, after the Third, affected much in the Holy Land; either their compel was spent before achieving it, or they were…
