Bannon`s War Room
The book was highlighted in three episodes as a new work that examined the medieval military orders, especially the Templars and Hospitallers, and their wars against Islam, linking their actions to the biblical ‘Two Swords’ passage. Host Steve Bannon and guest Raymond Ibrahim discussed how the title reflected the dual spiritual and physical combat described by crusaders, and Brad Brat introduced it as a fresh contribution to understanding the period. The conversation emphasized the book’s detailed coverage of Crusades and its provocative insight into the militant nature of monk warriors.

This was mentioned as a new book by Raymond Ibrahim discussing the military orders, the Templars and the Hospitals, during the Crusades.
I had Raymond Ibrahim on last night, his new book, Two Swords of Christ, about the military orders, the Templars and the Hospitals in the Crusades.
Episode: Episode 4953: FBI To Investigate The Seditious 6
This was Raymond Ibrahim's newest book discussed, focusing on the interpretation of the 'Two Swords' verse and the role of militant Christian orders throughout history.
But for the medieval Christians, and especially the crusaders, it actually meant that there are two swords to be used against two sorts of evil. Spiritual evil, which modern day Christians still acknowledge, but also physical, secular, material, corporeal, evil, human evil, human agency.
And so that's how they understood it. And that's why I think it's ironic and people will be surprised when they read the book that this logic actually showed you how the most pious men, these men were monks, essentially, were also the most militant at the same time.

This newest book discussed the military orders, particularly the Templars and the Hospitallers, focusing on their wars against Islam and detailing virtually every Crusade covered in detail. The book's title refers to the biblical verse where Jesus suggests buying a sword to deal with secular enemies, including Muslims.
And now you've got the one about the military orders during the Crusades. The Knights Hospitur, the Knights of St. John, and the Knights Templars.
And then the newest book, The Two Swords of Christ, which deals with the military orders, especially the Templars and the Hospitallers and the wars against Islam.
