Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our project aimed to clarify the different aspects of the development of Medieval and Early Modern christianity as it spread out not only in Europe, but also to the other parts of the World under the influence of the process of christianization’. The previous researches had emphasized the orthodoxy of the christianity and its uncompromised attitudes, such as the establishment of Europe as a ‘persecuting society’, confrontation with the pagans , missionary activities, conversion by force, religious war.But recent studies shed a new light on the pluralism of christian culture as well as the co-existence of different religions and churches in medieval and Early Modern Times. Our project has been performed according to such new trends and has held many workshops not only in Japan bout also in Italy. We could present new images about the history of Medieval and Early Modern christianity in our papers which we have produced as results of many discussions between researchers.
