Religious conversion has always been and remains today a controversial issue in many of the world's religions. It aqhs been promoted, condoned, banned but almost never ignored. Although it normally appears in a religious context, the language of conversion is also used in non-religious contexts. This volume examines the practices of various world religions and highlights some of the issues that cut across traditions and emerge in distinct ways in different religions and cultural settings. The book is in good/very good condition EXCEPT for a thick remainder mark at the top along with the first three pages of thee book having a black mark at the top right and a label covering the one at the front.

Conversion has been an important issue for most of the universal religions - those usually associated with a founder, such as Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism - which have a mission to spread their message. Other religions have been less concerned with conversion except in so far as it has been a negative force for them to confront. This study explores how conversion has been understood by different religions during different eras, and includes a survey of the textual, legal, ritual, historic and experiential dimensions of the phenomenon of conversion.
