Trascendencia geográfica e institucional de los métodos de evangelización: una reconsideración acerca de las empresas apostólicas del Japón moderno temprano

Abstract

This essay is about the evangelization methods employed by the catholic mission of Japan in the earlier modern times. This study starts from a historiography reflection about the tendency to associate the missioner politics of the Mendicants orders with the concept of tabula rasa while it’s exalting the exclusive mode of the accomodatio practiced by the Society of Jesus. In the same revision, it’s elucidated how the evangelization methods have transcended different religious orders in diverse geographical context of the first early modern era.
