How did building new monasteries in Europe during the Middle Ages help spread Christianity?
The building of new monasteries in Europe had a direct impact from the allocation of a space where potential converts could be convinced.

But that is the obvious answer - less obvious but just as important, if not more important, was the role of monasteries in perpetuating Christian texts. Monks would transcribe important Christian documents such as the Bible and would keep copies safe in their libraries for posterity. Without the work of monk scribes, the Bible would have been far less prevalent in Europe.
