The Christianisation of eastern Europe started later than in western Europe and faced challenges not faced by the West in late antiquity. In those eastern lands occupied by Slavs and others, formerly under control of the Byzantines or others, the process of re- Christianising those lands and bringing Christianity for the first time to the occupiers, was done gradually and often with cultural concessions, like the preservation of language. In Bulgaria there was an acceptance of Christianity in former Byzantine territory often associated with increasing political ties. In Frankish lands, however, where there was a push for Christianisation there was often more conflict. The pace of this increased in the ninth century with Cyril and Methodius as missionaries, whose new style of spreading Christianity and the development of a written Slavic language brought permanent success.

This paper examines the difficulties experienced in bringing Christianity to the peoples of eastern Europe in the early Middle Ages and beyond. In focus are the problems and processes of converting the Eurasian nomads who appeared in the steppes of eastern Europe. The research reveals that the success of missionary activity from various Christian denominations (often associated with trade activities) depended upon the receptiveness of the leaders of nomadic communities. A number of examples from various communities are provided.

While traditional Roman religion was more about orthopraxy than orthodoxy, the emergence of Christianity challenged non-Christian intellectuals of the later empire to respond to issues of personal devotion to the gods and the role of theurgy as well as divine unity. This is exemplified in this paper through an examination of Aelius Aristides, Marcus Aurelius, Apollonius of Tyana, Saturninius Secundus Sallustius, Iamblichus, and Proclus. Not only was their thought a reaction to Christianity but also influenced its development.

Taking Christianisation as the process by which an entire society can be said to have become Christian, this article examines that phenomenon in ninth-century Saxony. The conversion of Saxony was unwelcome and imposed often by force, especially during the time of Charlemagne. This process of Christianisation is considered through two texts: 'Translato sancti Alexandrii and Translatio sancti Liborii'. The isolationism of the Saxons and the divine triumph over that position through Charlemagne are emphasised in these later accounts of the translation of the remains of saints Alexander and Liborius, whose bodies and the miracles associated with them helped reverse the reintroduction of paganism. At the same time, political necessity had seen the Saxons being granted the right to return to their old way of life in support of the Carolingian rulers. In the end, being Christian was portrayed as the best way to be Saxon and the process of Christianisation hastened.
