Andrew Buckser is an assistant professor of anthropology at Purdue University. Stephen D. Glazier is a professor of anthropology at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
This is a most welcome book. In it anthropologists, Christian and non-Christian, do deep, sympathetic studies of religious conversion, both individual and corporate, to Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Spiritism, and Rastafarianism. The do what anthropologists do best―give us thick descriptions of conversion from the perspectives of converts themselves. . . In these penetrating studies, the authors show us by way of ethnographic detail the complex intertwining of personal, social, cultural, and spiritual factors that are involved. (International Bulletin of Mission Research)
A good cross-section of the "new" anthropological writings on religious change. (Reviews in Anthropology)
A very interesting range of comparisons . . . . Succeeds admirably in its goal of offering nuanced ethnographies of conversion as a multileveled social process. (Journal of Anthropological Research)
