      The exploration of Christ's tomb in Jerusalem reveals its profound impact on the development of Western Europe, influencing societal structures and artistic expression. The pilgrimage to the site spurred the creation of replicas and memorials, while the desire to control the tomb fueled the crusades. In response to losing Jerusalem, Western Europe established new pilgrimages, designated kingdoms as "holy lands," and created local pilgrimage centers. This book interweaves social, political, and religious themes, offering a comprehensive view of their interconnectedness.

      The two centuries covered in this volume were among the most creative in the history of the Church. Colin Morris charts the emergence of much that is considered characteristic of European culture and religion, including universities and commercial cities, the crusades, the friars, chivalry, marriage, and church architecture. In all these developments, the Roman Church played an important and often fundamental role. A re-evaluation of that role is now particularly apt given the dissolution of Christendom in its old form witnessed by today's generation.
