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.Issues in contemporary religion.ConversionPsychology, ReligiousConversion.Psychology, Religious.291.4/2Lamb Christopher1937-1469474Bryant M.
