Was the medieval period really an ‘Age of Faith’? An overview

This clever enquiry provides an overview of religious belief in the medieval period. Use it before you delve into Doom Paintings, Pilgrimages and Crusades.

The overview enquiry encouraging your students to engage with historical interpretations before substantiating (or challenging) the interpretations with evidence.

It is a good way of developing students’ knowledge of both religious belief and of some key events/individuals in the period (such as Thomas Becket and the Crusades), whilst engaging with the views of historians too.
