Strange Gods: A Secular History of Conversion by Susan Jacoby

4.0

Interesting history of the idea of conversion in the western world. Jacoby examines the socio-economic as well as historical factors that drove most conversions historically. Intriguing read, if a bit untidy. She doesn't really present a thesis or a strong conclusion, but there is so much historical information here that I learned quite a bit. The learning was the difference between a 3 and 4 star review for me.
