Radosław Kotecki (Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz) has published on religion and war, clerical warfare, and arms-bearing, especially in medieval Poland.
Carsten Selch Jensen is a professor and dean at the Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen. He has published extensively on the Baltic Crusades.
Stephen Bennett (Queen Mary University of London) is a historian specializing in medieval warfare. He is currently working on a book covering participation in the Third Crusade.
Closing the gap between recent developments in Polish, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Hungarian, Croatian, Slovakian, and Czech historiographies, the volume provides an important update to earlier conversations in English, French or German language scholarship. As a whole, the wider goal of the volume is to bring these regional histories into greater contact with other scholarly conversations about the intersection between Christianity and warfare; it achieves that goal.[...]Overall, this edited volume presents a good set of studies that help provide a good “update” for scholars that might be unable to read the locally-produced material on which the authors of the chapters draw. The editorial care to present as much good scholarship is evident: the authors are, for the most part, “known entities” among scholars of crusades and holy war.
