Inhaltsangabe

""Medieval Missionary: A Study of the Conversion of Northern Europe AD 500 to 1300"" by James Thayer Addison is a comprehensive exploration of the Christianization of Northern Europe during the medieval period. The book examines the various methods and strategies employed by missionaries to convert the pagan populations of the region, including the use of force, diplomacy, and cultural assimilation. The author also delves into the political and social factors that influenced the spread of Christianity, including the role of monarchs and the emergence of religious orders. With a focus on the key figures and events that shaped the conversion process, ""Medieval Missionary"" offers a detailed and engaging account of one of the most significant transformations in European history.This work is No. II in the Studies in the World Mission of Christianity Series. Through this book we can see the modern missionary enterprise against the background and from the perspective of the missions of earlier centuries. Between the missions of which Professor Addison writes and those of the last century and a half many striking contrasts exist which inevitably raise questions concerning the infallibility of those which have been pursued in our age. Contents: Education and the Motives of Medieval Missionaries; Kings and Missionaries; Missions and Monasticism Influence of the Papacy; Missionary Message.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
