Abstract This piece serves as an introduction to give short essays by contributors originally assembled for a roundtable session at the 46th International Congress on Medieval Studies, sponsored by the Consortium for the Teaching of the Middle Ages (TEAMS). The goal of that session, which we hope will be further advanced by this compilation of short pieces, was to introduce ideas and generate discussion on the pedagogy of familiarizing students with the idiosyncrasies of medieval Christianity when they are separated from them by hundreds of years and, in the case of non‐European students, usually thousands of miles.
