[size=+1]"Do not the heathen say: 'Where is their God?'
Nor do I wonder, for the sons of the Church, those who bear the label 'Christian,' have been laid low in the desert
and have either been slain by the sword or consumed by famine." — St. Bernard, 1148[/size]

[size=+1]Grading[/size]:
The course will initially be graded on a pass/fail basis. Should Jerusalem remain in pagan hands a century from now, everyone in the course will be damned for all eternity.
As the Lord will doubtless provide for victory, everyone should pass and the course will then be graded according to the piety and good works of the students and their descendants to the month of January in the year of our Lord 1450.
Extra credit is available to those donating their class notes to the library's Crusader vicipædia.
