Zusammenfassung:Religious conversion is often a controversial subject. 'Previous Convictions' takes the lid off the experience of 'seeing the light'. Is conversion mainly about psychology? Or is it a sociological phenomenon? This intriguing book explores the subject from a variety of perspectives: What is the psychology of religious conversion? Does conversion to a new religious movement, or cult, involve 'brainwashing'? Why are there so many converts to Pentecostal religion in South America? What happens when a Jew becomes Christian? Or when a fundamentalist evangelical becomes a liberal? Can you convert to new age spirituality? Does Islam actively seek conversions? 'Previous Convictions' is a fascinating insight into a profound and life-changing experience.
