A well-known book published by the Oxford University Press sarcastically claims that “God may indeed have wished it [the First Crusade to liberate Jerusalem], but there is certainly no evidence that the Christians of Jerusalem did, or that anything extraordinary was occurring to pilgrims there to prompt such a response at that moment in history.” Au contraire! Below we expose this flagrant lie (published by the world’s foremost academic press, no less) by quoting from one contemporary source after another—all of which make abundantly clear that the Christians of Jerusalem, and pilgrims to the Holy Land, were being horrifically persecuted and in desperate need of aid.
