It is to be read in connection with the third chapter of Volume IV The Rise of Christianity and with the third chapter of Volume VII Western Christianity since the Reforma tion )l The three essays, taken together, give a connected account of Christianity, which is a special feature of our series. The ninth section of the present volume The Crusades deals with an important phase of Western Christianity, a move ment which had the effect of transforming Central into Western Europe.
