Bolger: "Europe became Christian [largely] by the sword".
I never considered this in the past. I had known that Islam expanded by the sword, but I had always considered the spread of Christianity in history to be due to missionary activity. Guess I was wrong. I wonder if this conversion by the sword was true conversion, though, or if it created massive nominalism? I wonder if this Christendom expansion is in some way responsible for the deprivation of faith found in Europe today?
