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分支机构对基督徒及其教会施加的暴行，还是西方社会对穆斯林正在摧毁文化的抱怨。当他们提到对方时，双方经常使用不准确和夸张的语言，反映了许多世纪以来继承的态度。《基督教-穆斯林关系1800-1914》（CMR 1914）是关于这些态度以及它们持续和发展的方式。 伊斯兰教和基督教之间的关系有1400多年的历史。信仰的追随者从一开始就生活在一起，有时彼此受益匪浅，如在世纪的巴格达，基督徒为穆斯林将作品从希腊语翻译成阿拉伯语，尽管他们更经常相互诽谤和攻击，如在12世纪和13世纪的十字军东征和16世纪和17世纪奥斯曼帝国入侵欧洲时，这被视为一种信仰对另一种信仰的攻击。CMR 1914旨在发现实际上说了什么，并探索人们普遍接受的关于对方的内容。这是亚洲人权委员会资助的两个早期项目的延续，这两个项目追溯了世界各地从600年到1500年和1500年到1800年的历史，并将把故事带到20世纪世纪初。它包括四个要素。 第一个是编纂一部详细的历史，记录1800年至1914年期间基督徒和穆斯林关于彼此的所有已知著作。对于这部书目史，五个国际团队，每个团队专注于世界上的一个主要地区，将汇集在他们地区撰写的作品的帐户，委托专家贡献者撰写关于特定作者及其作品的详细分析条目。每个条目都将包括作者的信息、作品的内容及其意义、出版的详细信息以及对它的研究。这样，每个条目都将全面介绍一部作品，并将其汇编成一部相关的历史，将每个条目置于基督教-穆斯林关系的更广泛范围内。其结果将是一部多卷的历史，前所未有地详细描述了1800年至1914年间基督教-穆斯林关系的发展。它将使读者能够获得广泛的信息，而这些信息在过去仅限于拥有必要语言技能的专家。 第二个要素使用这部书目史来追溯在描绘他者时已经被接受的主要形象和态度，摆脱旧的联系方式的努力令人困惑。这些包括基督教对穆罕默德的贬低和对穆斯林道德松懈的指责，以及穆斯林对基督教教义和经文的亵渎。将邀请一组国际学者利用600-1900年期间的书目历史条目，就基督教-穆斯林历史中可辨别的主要主题撰写论文。其结果将是从7世纪到20世纪世纪的基督徒和穆斯林的形象和态度的主题历史。第三个元素是一个读者的说明性摘录，从最重要的作品在共同的历史。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。第四个要素是《通史》，它是对前两部历史的简要叙述，并以《读者》中的摘录加以说明。这一项目将基础研究与非技术性综合相结合，将这一主题置于新的基础上，并提供了新的发展前景。
