The Two Horizons by Anthony C Thiselton

Conversion committing oneself to a faith or ideology has played a significant role in the history of religions. History is peppered with examples of how conversion can considerably alter the religious quot;landscapequot; and understandings of faith communities. Often as a consequence of this process the meaning and experience of conversion is refined and defined within societies and faith communities. This volume is a religiocultural exploration of conversion which overall raises key issues relating to conversion and life in religiously plural societies. One such key issue concerns the very nature of quot;conversionquot; itself. In the context of multifaith communities religious conversion is usually understood to be the changing of affiliation from one faith to another. Taken as a whole however this collection of studies reexamines the assumption that conversion only takes place between different faith communities
