Columbus' Goal: Take Back Jerusalem From the Muslims
Five hundred years after he set sail, the prevailing view of Christopher Columbus
holds him responsible for everything that went wrong in the New World. Now,
anthropologist Carol Delaney reveals Columbus’s real motive for undertaking his
voyage—one that stands to radically change our understanding of him.
Through field work at the key sites of Columbus’s life and extensive archival
research, Delaney discovered that Columbus himself had clearly stated the ultimate
purpose of his voyages: He intended to sail to Asia and obtain gold, through trade,
in order to finance a crusade to take back Jerusalem from the Muslims. In
Columbus’s day, it was widely believed that Jerusalem must be in Christian hands
before Christ would return prior to the end of the world. Columbus believed he had
an important role to play in this apocalyptic drama. Delaney shows him to have
been neither a greedy imperialist nor a ruthless adventurer, as he has lately been
depicted, but a man driven by an abiding religious passion.
