Religions in Europe PortfolioChristianity vs. Islam in Feudal Europe
Catholics vs. Protestants in Renaissance and Reformation
Christianity vs. Native American religions in Global Convergence
2. Develop a Research Question
You may use the guiding questions in the textbook as an example for
developing a research question.
You should develop a question that will guide your exploration of two
religions in Europe.
A sample question might be, “What was the purpose of the Christian Crusades,
and what was their effect on Islamic culture in Feudal Europe?
Use the following prompts based on the two religions you will research:
•
•
•
How did the religions interact?
Did they exist peacefully or suffer from conflicts? What was the cause and
effect of interactions between the religions?
Did cultural diffusion influence the different religions? If so, how? If not,
why not?

Research Question: How did Christianity and Islam interact in Feudal Europe, and what were the causes and effects of their interactions?
To answer this research question, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by gathering background information on Christianity and Islam during the Feudal Europe period. Understand their core beliefs, practices, and historical context. This will help provide context for their interactions.
2. Explore historical records, texts, and accounts that document the interactions between Christianity and Islam in Feudal Europe. Look for instances of contact, such as trade, diplomacy, conflicts, or intellectual exchanges.
3. Evaluate the nature of their interactions. Did Christianity and Islam coexist peacefully, or did conflicts arise? Consider the impact of factors such as political power struggles, religious differences, and regional dynamics.
4. Analyze the causes and effects of their interactions. Did the interactions lead to cultural diffusion between the religions? If so, how did this influence their beliefs and practices? Alternatively, if there was limited cultural diffusion, what were the reasons behind it?
5. Identify specific historical events or phenomena that illustrate the interactions between Christianity and Islam in Feudal Europe. This could include the Crusades, the Reconquista, debates and intellectual exchanges, or trade relationships.
6. Use primary and secondary sources to support your findings. Primary sources include historical documents, letters, journals, or artwork from the time period, while secondary sources include scholarly articles, books, or essays by historians who have studied the topic.
7. Compare and contrast the interactions between Christianity and Islam in Feudal Europe with other religious interactions during that time, such as Christianity's encounters with Native American religions or the conflicts between Catholics and Protestants in the Renaissance and Reformation period.
By following these steps, you will be able to explore the interactions between Christianity and Islam in Feudal Europe, as well as understand the causes and effects of their interactions.
