Reports about relations between Christians and Muslims appear in the news every day, whether atrocities inflicted on Christians and their churches by so-called Islamic State and their affiliates in North and West Africa, or complaints in Western societies that Muslims are destroying the culture. When they refer to each other, both often employ inaccurate and exaggerated language that reflects attitudes inherited from many centuries past. Christian-Muslim Relations 1800-1914 (CMR 1914) is about these attitudes and the ways in which they have persisted and developed. The history of relations between Islam and Christianity stretches over 1400 years. Followers of the faiths have lived together from the beginning and have sometimes benefited one another greatly, as in 9th century Baghdad where works were translated from Greek into Arabic by Christians for Muslims, though they have more often defamed and attacked one another, as most dramatically in the Crusades in the 12th and 13th centuries and in the Ottoman incursions into Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, which were seen as representing attacks by one faith on the other. CMR 1914 seeks both to discover what was actually said and to explore what was popularly accepted about the other. It is a continuation of two earlier AHRC-funded projects that traced the history in all parts of the world from 600 to 1500 and 1500 to 1800, and will take the story forward to the beginning of the 20th century. It comprises four elements. The first is to compile a detailed history of all the known writings by Christians and Muslims about and against one another in the period 1800-1914. For this Bibliographical History, five international teams, each focusing on a major region of the world, will bring together accounts of the works written in their region, commissioning expert contributors to write detailed analytical entries on particular authors and their works. Each entry will include information about the author, the contents of their work and its significance, and full details about its publication and the studies written on it. In this way, each entry will give a comprehensive account of a work, and the compilation into a connected history will place each in the wider sweep of Christian-Muslim relations. The result will be a multi-volume history in unprecedented detail of the development of Christian-Muslim relations between 1800 and 1914. It will give readers access to a wide range of information that in the past has been restricted to specialists possessing the necessary language skills. The second element uses this Bibliographical History to trace the main images and attitudes that have become accepted in the portrayal of the other, bedevilling efforts to move away from old ways of relating. These include Christian disparagement of Muhammad and accusations of lax Muslim morality, and Muslim condemnations of Christian doctrine and scripture. A group of international scholars will be invited to draw on the entries from the bibliographical history of the 600-1900 period to write essays on the main themes discernible in Christian-Muslim history. The result will be a Thematic History of images and attitudes held by Christians and Muslims from the 7th to the 20th century. The third element is a Reader of illustrative excerpts from the most important works in the shared history. This will comprise short excerpts taken from the main works analysed in the Bibliographical History, selected from all periods and geographical regions and arranged in thematic groupings. It will enable readers to gain first-hand awareness of what was thought and said.The fourth element is a General History that offers a simplified account taken from the two other histories, illustrated with excerpts taken from the Reader.This project, combining basic research with non-technical syntheses, places the topic on a new footing and offers prospects for new development.

关于基督徒和穆斯林之间关系的报道每天都会出现在新闻中，无论是所谓的伊斯兰国及其在北非和西非的附属机构对基督徒及其教会实施的暴行，还是西方社会对穆斯林破坏文化的抱怨。当他们互相提及时，两人都经常使用不准确和夸张的语言，这反映了许多世纪以来继承的态度。 《基督教与穆斯林关系 1800-1914》（CMR 1914）讲述的是这些态度以及它们持续和发展的方式。 伊斯兰教与基督教的关系已有1400多年的历史。不同信仰的追随者从一开始就生活在一起，有时彼此受益匪浅，例如在 9 世纪的巴格达，基督教徒将作品从希腊语翻译成阿拉伯语，供穆斯林使用，但他们更经常互相诽谤和攻击，最引人注目的是 12 世纪和 13 世纪的十字军东征以及 16 世纪和 17 世纪奥斯曼帝国入侵欧洲，这些事件被视为代表一种信仰的攻击 另一方面。 CMR 1914 旨在发现对方实际所说的内容，并探索对方普遍接受的内容。它是 AHRC 资助的两个早期项目的延续，这两个项目追溯了 600 年至 1500 年和 1500 年至 1800 年世界各地的历史，并将故事推进到 20 世纪初。它由四个要素组成。 第一个任务是编撰 1800 年至 1914 年间基督徒和穆斯林相互争论和对抗的所有已知著作的详细历史。在这本书目历史中，五个国际团队，每个团队都专注于世界的一个主要地区，将汇集在其地区撰写的作品的记录，委托专家撰稿人撰写有关特定作者及其作品的详细分析条目。每个条目将包含有关作者的信息、其作品的内容及其意义，以及有关其出版物和所写研究的完整详细信息。这样，每一个条目都会对一部作品进行全面的描述，而汇编成一部相互关联的历史，将使每一个条目都处于更广泛的基督教与穆斯林关系之中。其结果将是一本多卷本的历史，以前所未有的细节记录了 1800 年至 1914 年间基督教与穆斯林关系的发展。它将让读者获得广泛的信息，而这些信息在过去仅限于拥有必要语言技能的专家。 第二个元素使用这个书目历史来追踪在描绘他人时已被接受的主要形象和态度，并努力摆脱旧的联系方式。其中包括基督徒对穆罕默德的贬低和对穆斯林道德松懈的指控，以及穆斯林对基督教教义和经文的谴责。一群国际学者将被邀请利用 600-1900 年时期的书目历史条目，撰写有关基督教-穆斯林历史中可识别的主题的文章。其结果将是一部关于 7 世纪至 20 世纪基督徒和穆斯林所持形象和态度的主题历史。第三个元素是共同历史中最重要作品的说明性摘录的读者。这将包括从书目历史中分析的主要作品中摘录的简短摘录，选自所有时期和地理区域并按主题分组排列。它将使读者能够第一手了解所思所想和所言所言。第四个要素是通史，提供从另外两部历史中摘录的简化叙述，并以读者的摘录进行说明。该项目将基础研究与非技术综合相结合，将这一主题置于新的基础上，并提供了新的发展前景。
