Christopher Columbus is reevaluated as a man of deep
passion, patience, and religious conviction—on a mission
to save Jerusalem from Islam.GET book Five hundred years
after he set sail, Columbus is still a controversial figure in
history. Debates portray him either as the hero in the great
drama of discovery or as an avaricious glory hunter and
ruthless destroyer of indigenous cultures. In Columbus and the
Quest for Jerusalem, Carol Delaney offers a radically new
interpretation of the man and his mission, claiming that the true
motivation for his voyages is still widely unknown. Delaney
argues that Columbus was inspired to find a western route to
the Orient not only to obtain vast sums of gold for the Spanish
Crown but primarily to fund a new crusade to take Jerusalem
from the Muslims before the end of the world—a goal
that sustained him until the day he died. Drawing from oftignored
sources, some from Columbus’s own hand,
Delaney depicts her subject as a thoughtful interpreter of the
native cultures that he and his men encountered, and tells the
tragic story of how his initial attempts to establish good
relations with the natives turned badly sour. Showing
Columbus in the context of his times rather than through the
prism of present-day perspectives on colonial conquests
reveals a man who was neither a greedy imperialist nor a
quixotic adventurer, but a man driven by an abiding religious
passion. Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem is not an
apologist’s take, but a clear-eyed, thought-provoking,
and timely reappraisal of the man and his legacy.
