Christian-Muslim Relations provides scholars, students and researchers with professionally curated reference and eBook content to create the most comprehensive resource in the field. At its heart is a new three volume major reference work, Christian-Muslim Relations: Primary Sources 600-1914. The resource brings together over 400 extracts from major writings by Christians and Muslims that reflect their knowledge of one another and the attitudes that gradually developed, with many writings appearing in English for the first time via specially prepared translations.

"An invaluable collection of texts that Christians and Muslims have written about each other, and each other’s faith, over the centuries, in a wide variety of languages and in all continents. Theologians, legal authorities, historians, poets, travellers, traders, missionaries and political leaders are all represented … An indispensable resource for understanding the relationship between the world’s two largest religious communities."
Professor Hugh Goddard, Honorary Professorial Fellow, University of Edinburgh, UK
