Fifteen contributors treat perennial questions about conversion: continuity and discontinuity, conversion and communal conflict, and the politics of conversion. Some study individuals (An Chungg?n of Korea, Liang Fa of China, Nehemiah Goreh of India), while others treat ethnolinguistic groups or large-scale movements. Converts sometimes appear as proto-nationalists, while others are suspected of cultural treason. Some transition effortlessly from leadership in one religious community into Christian ministry, while others re-convert to new forms of Christianity. The accounts collected here underscore the complexity of conversion, balancing individual agency with broader social trends and combining micro- with macrocontextual approaches. 410 0$aSocial sciences in Asia ;$vVolume 35. 606 $aChristian converts$zAsia$vBiography 607 $aAsia$xChurch history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristian converts 676 $a275 701 $aYoung$b Richard Fox$0922981 701 $aSeitz$b Jonathan A$0922982 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462881503321 996 $aAsia in the making of Christianity$92070986 997 $aUNINA
