The course aims to provide students with the ability to analyze the impact of religious structures on societies, interreligious relations and transformations in the historical process.
In this course, in the process leading to the Crusades, Islam and Christianity's unique theological structures, religious institutionalism, religion-state relations, Byzantine-Islamic relations, sectarian divisions and cultural interactions will be discussed in a historical context. Through the method of comparison, the political and social function of religion in the Middle Ages will be evaluated.
