Discuss the effectiveness of methods used to spread religion in two societies, each from a different region.

The question requires that candidates offer a considered and balanced review of the methods used to spread religion in two societies. The two societies must be from different regions, but they may or may not have been contemporaneous with each other. A comparative approach may or may not be used. Candidates may refer to the spread of religion due to trade, military conquest, migration and emigration, the role of missionaries and religious campaigns. Candidates will consider how effective these methods were and are likely to consider both their success and failure in order to respond fully to the question.
