Reinventing Religion: Ancient Egypt in the European History of Religion
As the study of tro moved into the domain of cultural studies, there came a shift in the subjects of rs no longer focused solely on so-called world religions but also looked at the interplay between religion and culture in a broader sense. In a article on the paradigm of European history of religion, Burkhard Gladigow called this shift “vertical transfer.”
By using this term, Gladigow addressed the exchange between different systems of meaning (Sinnsystemen), such as literature, science, or technology.

Correspondingly, the spread of Christianity throughout Ethiopia during the Aksumite era, as recounted in a florilegium of Ethiopian hagiographies, is traditionally ascribed to the contributions of the ‘Nine Saints’:1 a group of foreigners, presumably monks, “several of royal or near royal Roman birth,”2 who, by a certain number of scholars in the West3 were assumed and classified in general to be ‘Syrian’ monks and were believed to have sown Christianity and monastic life in the kingdom of Aksum during a time period collectively addressed as the ‘second evangeli
