In his book, Walter Ward analyzes the reasons for the growth of Christian influence on the Sinai Peninsula in the late antique period. Monks emphasized Sinai's connection with biblical events to justify their presence and ascribed uncivilized traits to the nomads, whom they called "Saracens."

By composing stories about the barbaric customs of the nomads and the martyrdom of monks, Christian authors not only sought to affirm their religious values but also provoked the rulers of the Roman Empire to build military fortifications to protect pilgrims.
