<span>The Western tradition is indebted to Judeo-Christian formations of the special dignity of human beings and the rights and responsibilities which are theirs by virtue of that dignity. All human beings owe their lineage to a set of common parents according to the Hebrew Bible. These parents, Adam and Eve, were made in the image and likeness of their Creator (Gen. 1:27), and thus all their progeny bear that image (i.e., the imago Dei). From these beginnings we inherit the concept of human exceptionalism—the belief that human beings are unique, possessors of inalienable rights, and ought to exercise managerial stewardship over nature.</span>

How did the Fourth Crusade contribute to further division within Christianity?

puteri [66]

Answer:

The Fourth Crusade contributed to further division within Christianity, as the Crusade was called upon to aid the Eastern Christians in retaking and holding onto the Holy Land. However, the Western Christians, on their march towards the Holy Land, instead decided to attack and loot Constantinople following a failed Crusader-back coup. This led to broken relations between the East and Western Christians, as not only has the Crusade failed in its original purpose, but it also fragmented the power structure of the Eastern Roman Empire.
