DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the weave of world history, a complex and fascinating thread winds through the long centuries, a deliberate and calculated assimilation of cultures and religions as a strategy of infiltration and expansion of the influence of Christianity. While this expansion was nothing less than a cultural conquering on an utterly massive scale, it is often overlooked, and its consequences are barely understood. We are here to explore the heart of this web of cultural assimilation within Christianity, examining its role as a strategic weapon in the armory of faith expansion. Christian history has a variety of violent conquests; this book delves into the subtle tactics of syncretism and other methods used to infiltrate, subvert, and ultimately convert competing faiths and cultures. While this book will cover a long and varied history of cultures and religions, we will heavily explore the Northern European and Scandinavian realms. The rugged landscapes and formidable belief systems brought unique challenges and opportunities for innovative tactics by Christian missionaries and leaders. There, we will uncover remarkable stories of adaptation and transformation. We will also address why these regions were singled out as a crucible for these strategies and what we can learn from them. Join us as we embark on this intriguing journey to uncover answers and insights into the strategic expansion of Christianity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis study provides a comprehensive critical inquiry of the exploration, conquest, and evangelization of the Americas by Spain from Columbus's first voyage to the death of Las Casas. The author examines the conflicting interpretations of Columbus and presents the narrative of conquest along with that of native resistance, genocide, and the introduction of African slavery. Traboulay also describes and analyzes the struggles, arguments, achievements, and failures of Las Casas and others. By focusing on both Columbus and Las Casas, the author seeks to present a broader perspective of the conquest without diminishing the tragedy that occurred.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConflict, Conquest, and Conversion surveys two thousand years of the Christian missionary enterprise in the Middle East within the context of the region's political evolution. Its broad, rich narrative follows Christian missions as they interacted with imperial powers and as the momentum of religious change shifted from Christianity to Islam and back, adding new dimensions to the history of the region and the nature of the relationship between the Middle East and the West. Historians and political scientists increasingly recognize the importance of integrating religion into political analysis, and this volume, using long-neglected sources, uniquely advances this effort. It surveys Christian missions from the earliest days of Christianity to the present, paying particular attention to the role of Christian missions, both Protestant and Catholic, in shaping the political and economic imperialism of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Eleanor H. Tejirian and Reeva Spector Simon delineate the ongoing tensions between conversion and the focus on witness and "good works" within the missionary movement, which contributed to the development and spread of nongovernmental organizations. Through its conscientious, systematic study, this volume offers an unparalleled encounter with the social, political, and economic consequences of such trends.
