The course is focused on the geographical issues of religious-conquest wars, the methods of colonization (assimilation, persecution, elimination), and the effects on the participating religions (accommodation, syncretism, eclecticism). The content of the course is historical-religious processes from the perspective of the dynamics of religious-geographical territories, into which a partial religious system penetrated for a short period or planted cultural roots for a long time. The course aims to describe the geographical expansion, retreat, or assimilation of a sub-category of deity and cult and its associated political system.
