| Summary | Annotation "Religious conversion has always been and remains today a controversial issue in many of the world's religions. It has 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. Issues related to conversion can be discerned at the heart of the new religious pluralism that is increasingly present at least in many Western societies. This volume examines the practices of various world religions and highlights some of the issues that cut across traditions and emerge in distinctive ways in different religions and cultural settings. The book will be of interest to undergraduates as well as the general reader interested in gaining an insight into an enduring controversy the affects all religions."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
