The aim of this tribute to Manuel Revuelta S.I. is the study of Jesuit missions taking into account the adaptation of their strategies to the groups of people and cultures to be evangelized. The acculturation of the natives is analyzed from a comparative perspective between America and Asia, but also the acculturation of the own missionaries, and their capacity to integrate themselves into the culture of the «others». Likewise, the expansion of evangelization and the success of Jesuit education in these continents also depended on other determining factors such as the political context in which the missions originated, and the involvement of the natives in the progress of the mission.
