The Portuguese Trading Empire served as the basis for creating a global network of Jesuit missions in the 16th century. Faced with an absolutely alien cultural environment, the Jesuits created their own missionary strategy - a policy of cultural accommodation, which meets the ideas of soteriology, which has become a unifying element for the European society of the early New Age. It allowed the order not only to actively conduct Christianization, but also to socially integrate into the societies of such geopolitically determining states of East and South Asia as Japan, China and India.
In the book, a comprehensive analysis of the policy of cultural accommodation was carried out. This was achieved through the use of an extensive documentary base, as well as the departure from fragmentation in the coverage of the activities of the Jesuit missions in Asia. In the study, they are considered as a single trans -regional phenomenon - India province, which in the XVI century. covered huge territories from the coast of East Africa to the Japanese archipelago. The monograph clearly demonstrates that, contrary to the huge distances and difficulties of navigation, its individual administrative-territorial units were interconnected not only by the general doctrine and the management system, but also by the unified missionary strategy
