Het onderzoek van Professor Baer duikt in de onderling verbonden geschiedenissen van christenen, joden en moslims in Europese en Midden-Oosterse contexten, van de vroegmoderne tot de moderne tijd.

Hij analyseert nauwgezet hoe deze groepen elkaar beïnvloedden en hoe hun overtuigingen en praktijken historisch evolueerden. Zijn wetenschap biedt diepgaande inzichten in de veranderende landschappen van religieuze identiteit en transformatie door de eeuwen heen.
