The volume challenges the often assumed paramount Europeanness of Western Christianity. In the early modern period the idea of Tridentine Catholicism was translated into many different regions where it was appropriated and adopted to local conditions. Missionary work always entails translation, linguistic as well as cultural, which results in a modification of the content. Catechisms were central instruments to communicate Christian belief and, therefore, they are central media for all kinds of translation processes. The comparative approach (including China, India, Japan, Ethiopia, Northern America and England) enables the evaluation of different factors like power relations, social differentiation, cultural patterns, gender roles et cetera Contributors are: Takao Abé, Anand Amaladass, Leonhard Cohen, Renate Dürr, Antje Flüchter, Ana Hosne, Giulia Nardini, John Ødemark, John Steckley, Alexandra Walsham, Rouven Wirbser. 410 0$aStudies in Christian mission ;$vVolume 52. 676 $a282.0903 702 $aFlu?chter$b Antje 702 $aWirbser$b Rouven 712 12$aConference "Comparing Catechisms - Entangling Christian History"$f(2014 :$eOslo University) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bAzTeS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819615903321 996 $aTranslating catechisms, translating cultures$93960267 997 $aUNINA
