The Two Swords of Christ by Raymond Ibrahim (2025, Hardcover)

In line with Christ's now ignored directive that "two swords" are "enough" (Luke 22:38), these two brotherhoods wielded both spiritual and martial power to safeguard the faith. In this magisterial history, Raymond Ibrahim chronicles the long and brutal conflict between Islam and the West through the eyes and lives of Christendom's original commando forces: the knights of the Temple and Hospital.
