Conflict and discord defined Europe during the time period following World War II. Many people were struggling to survive and the dynamics of public interactions and relations were disjointed—no one was in unison. The Church recognized this problem of disunion not just within secular society‚ but also within the Christian faiths. Pope John XXIII sought out to mend these conflicts both in Christianity and in society. Thus‚ he convoked a new council that he would later name‚ the Second Vatican Council

Previously‚ the Middle Ages had not looked favorably upon man ’s achievements. Living under the shadow of human sin‚ the Roman Catholic scholars of medieval Europe stressed the afterlife. Greatness came from God‚ not man‚ so the true heroes of Christendom were the martyrs‚ missionaries and priests preparing for salvation. The Renaissance challenged this bleak vision. Part of the challenge came from 14th century Italy ’s rediscovery of the classical literature of ancient Greece and Rome. The histories

Tha Arabian Nights The Arabian Nights constitute‚ in Marina Warner’s words‚ "a polyvocal anthology of world myths‚ fables and fairytales". The antecedents of these Arab-Islamic texts (also known as The Thousand and One Nightsand the Arabian Nights Entertainments) are Qur’anic‚ Biblical‚ Indian‚ Persian‚ Mesopotamian‚ Greek‚ Turkish and Egyptian.

The Real History of the Crusades Misconceptions about the Crusades are all too common. The Crusades are generally portrayed as a series of holy wars against Islam led by power-mad popes and fought by religious fanatics. They are supposed to have been the epitome of self-righteousness and intolerance‚ a black stain on the history of the Catholic Church in particular and Western civilization in general. A breed of proto-imperialists‚ the Crusaders introduced Western aggression
