Description
Summary:This essay offers a review of Lewis Rambo and Charles Farhadian's The Oxford Handbook of Religious Conversion (2014) in light of Lewis Rambo's previous work on religious conversion, especially his Understanding Religious Conversion (1993). Classic and contemporary questions and issues in conversion studies are noted. The Oxford Handbook of Religious Conversion is also engaged from the perspective of the author's own work, as well as several passages from the work of William James. This essay concludes by suggesting that The Oxford Handbook of Religious Conversion will remain a foundation upon which the field of conversion studies can continue to build for decades to come.
