Schleiermacher maintained that "to make proselytes out of
unbelievers is deeply engrained in the character of religion." But
why do religions proselytize? Do all religions seek conversions?
How are religions adapting their proclamations in a deeply plural
world? This book provides a detailed analysis of the missionary
impulse as it is manifested across a range of religious and
irreligious traditions. World Religions and Their Missions
systematically compares the motives and methods of the "missions"
of Atheism, the Baha'i Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism,
Islam, and Mormonism. The text also develops innovative frameworks
for interreligious encounters and comparative mission studies.
