520 |a Vasco da Gama, the event and its interpretation, plays a significant role in the periodization of Christian history in general, and particularly for the historiography of mission. For West and East alike, Vasco da Gama's voyages to India represent a major 'caesura' of history. Any juxtaposition of 'Western' and 'Indian' interpretations of the event will have the expected result of a considerable difference of opinion. An unexpected result however, and a tentative hypothesis of this paper, is that important mission-historiographical assumptions of the West about the meaning of the event Vasco da Gama, about the periodization and the nature of Christianity, may have been constructed in hostile opposition to Islam. Within the context of postcolonialism, Vasco da Gama appears to having become a symbol of all that which the contemporary ecumenical and missionary movements try to get away from. However, an important question is who defines what it means to escape from this heritage of history.
