The conversion to Christianity of the Scandinavian countries and of the areas in the middle and the eastern part of the Baltic Sea was a long process that lasted for centuries. It has very often been studied within a national tradition with little comparison between various geographical areas, and it has very often been studied with too little contextualizing to other economic, social, and mental developments within Western Europe.
