摘要本文着重介绍了19世纪末和世纪初传教士的影响：传教士的报告有助于殖民知识的发展，特别是宗教研究的形成。此外，这些传教士的报告，这也形成了理论假设和分析技术的当代语文学科，有直接的政治影响。例如，19世纪80年代对伊斯兰习俗的描述有助于表明，德国有必要对那些被认为受到穆斯林威胁的殖民地进行干预。传教士的报告还有另一个影响：通过成千上万篇关于非欧洲宗教习俗的文章，包括佛教和伊斯兰教，基督教社会首次了解了以前未知的宗教。这种新宗教可能性的扩散使德国社会走向宗教和文化多元化。
Abstract The article highlights the impact of missions in the late 19th and the beginning of the 20th century : Missionary reports contributed to the development of colonial knowledge in general and to the formation of religious studies in particular. Furthermore these missionary reports, which were also shaped by theoretical assumptions and analytical techniques of contemporary philological disciplines, had direct political effects. The representations of Islamic practices in the 1880s, for instance, helped to show the need for German interventions in colonies which were supposed to be threatened by Muslims. Reports by missionaries also had another influence: Through thousands of articles about non-European religious practices, including Buddhism and Islam, Christian societies first got to know about previously unknown religions. This proliferation of new religious possibilities enabled the German society to move towards religious and cultural pluralism.
