Reviews
""This is a creative monograph in the best traditions of empirically-based Study of Religion/s which mounts a sophisticated interdisciplinary argument in favour of the corporeal site of conversion in subjects' experience."" --Steven Sutcliffe, University of Edinburgh, UK ""In this multi-dimensional exploration of the dynamics of religious conversion, Jack Williams offers an illuminating account of a process that cannot be reduced to a mere change of mind. Describing the cognitive, affective, social, and embodied elements that characterize conversion, he provides a rich interpretation of a significant phenomenon."" --David Fergusson, University of Cambridge, UK ""With an interdisciplinary and multireligious sensibility, Jack Williams has produced a study of religious conversion that breaks new ground in philosophy of religion. Making proficient use of philosophical methods, both analytic and phenomenological, Rethinking Religious Conversion engages productively with various areas of religious studies and the study of human cognition. While keenly focused on the complex phenomenon of religious conversion, the book typifies a way forward for philosophy of religion more broadly."" --Mikel Burley, University of Leeds, UK
