An kaum einem anderen Ort waren im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert so viele verschiedene katholische Missionsorden tätig wie in Isfahan, der Hauptstadt des Safavidenreiches. Die Studie untersucht die sozialen Rollen, welche die europäischen Missionare in dieser multikulturellen Metropole spielten. Angezogen von der Hoffnung auf die Konversion des Schahs, betätigten sie sich auch als Diplomaten katholischer Herrscher, Gastgeber protestantischer Kaufleute und Heiler von Armeniern und Muslimen. Solche Nischentätigkeiten sicherten den Geistlichen soziale Akzeptanz vor Ort und ökonomische Unabhängigkeit von Rom. Die Flexibilität, die sie im Umgang mit kultureller Diversität bewiesen, ist ein Grundmerkmal missionarischer Tätigkeit im entstehenden globalen Katholizismus.

In The Mission of the Portuguese Augustinians to Persia and Beyond (1602-1747), John M. Flannery describes the establishment and activities of the Portuguese Augustinian mission in Persia. Hopes of converting the Safavid ruler of the Shi’a Muslim state would come to naught, as would the attempts of Shah ‘Abbas I to use the services of the missionaries, as representatives of the Spanish Habsburgs, to forge an anti-Ottoman alliance with the papacy and the Christian rulers of Europe. Prevented from converting Muslims, the Augustinians turned their attention to Armenian and Syriac Christians in Isfahan, later also establishing new missions among Christians in Georgia and the Mandaeans of the Basra region, all of which are described herein. The history of the Augustinian Order is generally under-represented by contrast with other Orders, and this study breaks new ground in existing scholarship.
