Crispin: Similarities Between Faith And Religion

No matter our faith and religion, we all have differences and similarities. Recently, I’ve been reading a book that introduces a catholic teenage boy named Crispin who lived around the medieval ages and gets accused of theft and murder. Throughout the book, he learns about freedom, bravery, and his true identity, but I’ve also noticed how Faith and religion also played an essential role in Crispin’s adventure in the book.
