https://whfua.history.ucla.edu/units/six/landscape/Era06_landscape7.php

WEB UNIT OF STUDY This World History for us All unit seeks to describe the spread of Islam and Christianity into new areas and to see religion generally as an integral factor of change during the period 1500-1800. The carriers of these two universal faiths had to figure out how much to insist on the purity and orthodoxy of each of their faiths and how much they should adapt and broaden their religion's beliefs and practices to include many local cultural elements. This tension is the underlying theme of this unit.
