Conversion: The Old and the New in Religion from Alexander the Great to Augustine of Hippo (Paperback or Softback). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers BBS-9780801859106
Originally published in 1933, Conversion is a seminal study of the psychology and circumstances of conversion from about 500 B.C.E. to about 400 A.D. A.D. Nock not only discusses early Christianity and its converts, but also examines non-Christian religions and philosophy, the means by which they attracted adherents, and the factors influencing and limiting their success. Christianity succeeded, he argues, in part because it acquired and adapted those parts of other philosophies and religions that had a popular appeal.

Paper Back. Zustand: New. First published in 1933, this model of comparative cultural analysis has thankfully been reprinted. A.D. Nock was for years one of the world's leading authorities on the religions of later antiquity, and along with William James' Varieties of Religious Experience, this book is one of the ''two most cited books in the field of conversion studies.'' After examining the idea of conversion in religion in general, through the mixing and dissemination of primitive and prophetic modes, Nock focuses on Greek religion before Alexander the Great contrasted with the success of Buddhism further east. With the rise of the Roman Empire and the migration of Eastern cults and mystery religions to the West, Nock describes the complex religious and philosophical background of the world into which Christianity was born, and the various ways it succeeded, both philosophically and socially, amidst the ''widespread pessimism'' of that world. An informed reading and synthesis of original sources that profoundly advances our sense of what it meant to be religious in the world of late antiquity. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 20100916178009
