- This monograph, representing four years of research and writing and supported by a research sabbatical, fundamentally reconceptualises the First Crusaders’ attitude towards Islam. Methodologically Encountering Islam engages with the sources using innovative statistical techniques and drawing upon c.250 primary texts. Unlike previous studies, it demonstrates that they did not view Muslims as a monolithic group but had distinctive attitudes towards different communities. It explores the crusaders’ attitudes via a medieval theological lens, offering a new and revisionist paradigm. Since publication, Encountering Islam has been widely and positively reviewed and has provoked considerable discussion in this field.
