Over recent decades, historians have become increasingly interested
in early modern Catholic missions in Asia as laboratories of
cultural contact. This book builds on recent ground-breaking
research on early modern Catholic missions, which has shown that
missionaries in Asia cooperated with and accommodated the needs of
local agents rather than being uncompromising promoters of
post-Tridentine doctrine and devotion. Bringing together some of
the most renowned and innovative researchers from Anglophone
countries and continental Europe, this volume investigates how
missionaries' entanglements with local societies across Asia
contributed to processes of localization within the early modern
Catholic church. The focus of the volume is on missionaries'
adaptation to four ideal-typical social settings that played an
eminent role in early modern Asian missions: (1) the symbolically
loaded princely court; (2) the city as a space of especially dense
communication; (3) the countryside, where missionary presence was
only rarely permanent; (4) and the household - a central arena of
conversion in early modern Asian societies. Shining a fresh light
onto the history of early modern Catholic missions and the early
modern Eurasian cultural exchange, this will be an important book
for any scholar of religious history, history of cultural
contact/global history and early modern history in Asia.
