Summary/Abstract: Main question of my scientific research is actually historically – theological analysis in witch way, at the time, mostly tribal West found out about Christianity. How functioned and how fast could develop such a process in that period of time, thanks to the monasticism and caused by the great migration of nations, but also caused by many heretical teachings, which were quite dangerous for the life of the Christ’s Church at the time, but also for life in general meaning. Monasticism comes to the West and starts to learn about Western culture, maybe it didn’t at first want to spread Christianity but in order to, first of all save their own lives, about what we have a lot of writing documents. We have many proves that teachers of the Eastern Church had to unwillingly leave the Church on the East, to come to the West and to find a safe place there. And in that manner, willingly or unwillingly, from our perspective definitely important historical event which caused faster Christianisation of the West.
