Blessed Ignorance? A Comparative Perspective on Eastern and Western Missionary Approaches to the Transmission of Knowledge

Summary/Abstract: The article compares two texts produced in the course of Christianization of Bulgaria and Saxony. A comparison of these texts provides a new perspective on the missionary approaches of Western and Eastern missionaries to the task of Evangelization and thus illuminates the differences in the outcomes of these Christianization processes. By examining the Saxon Heliand and the Bulgarian Didactic Gospel, the author aims to demonstrate how the different approaches to the missionary undertaking shaped Christianity in Eastern and Western Europe.
