从十字军东征看中世纪宗教冲突_英语论文

On the Medieval Religious Conflicts from the Crusades

摘要

宗教是一个复杂而历史悠久的话题，然而宗教冲突更是至今对世界和平产生影响的重要因素。在中世纪的欧洲，宗教信仰十分重要，它不仅是人们的精神寄托，更是中世纪统治者用来统治人们思想和行为的重要工具。所以，正是这宗教信仰的不同，各个教派的人们互相不能容忍，乃至各个国家因为信仰的差异而发生战争。进而给世界带来灾难，这更加加深了各自的仇恨。 在宗教冲突中发生的战争不计其数，其中最为著名的就是中世纪那长达200年之久的十字军东征。 因此，可以说在十字军东征期间，各个宗教的冲突达到了一个顶峰，如果要研究宗教冲突，那么十字军东征期间的宗教冲突是必不可少的。

本篇论文以十字军东征的中世纪为研究阶段，针对期间的宗教冲突进行分析。首先，作者在介绍部分简要介绍十字军东征的概况，背景以及原因。之后，在此基础上详细的分析期间的宗教冲突，给予充分的论据，分别列举世界三大教派的冲突。最后，笔者将对此给与自己的观点以及阐述宗教冲突对世界宗教产生影响。

本论文的目的在于研究欧洲中世纪十字军东征的前提下，分析其后的宗教冲突，进而加深对欧洲宗教以及中世纪历史的了解，为研究中世纪的其他人们提供更加全面的宗教冲突信息，也为人们更好地了解中世纪宗教冲突提供方便。
