N2  - Western Christians in the 20th century viewed Islam through a lens of social & political concerns that would have appeared novel to their medieval & early-modern predecessors. Concerns about the predicament of secular 'modernity' infused Christian discourse with distinct assumptions that shaped engagement with Islam in fundamentally new ways. J.N.D. Anderson, a highly influential British Christian scholar of Islam, embodied this new orientation in his commitment to 'modernize' Islam. Anderson's engagement with Islam as a missionary, intelligence agent, scholar of Islamic law & advisor to various Muslim governments, spanned multiple decades & continents. As well as shaping Western understandings of Islamic law & its application, he was involved in debates about the end of the British Empire & the transformation of Christian missions following formal decolonization.
