For decades, Arthur D. Nock's famous definition of conversion and
his distinction between conversion and adhesion have greatly
influenced our understanding of individual religious transformation
in the ancient world. The articles in this volume - originally
presented as papers at the conference Conversion and Initiation in
Antiquity (Ebeltoft, Denmark, December 2012) - aim to nuance this
understanding. They do so by exploring different facets of these
two phenomena in a wide range of religions in their own context and
from new theoretical and empirical perspectives. The result is a
compilation of many new insights into ancient initiation and
conversion as well as their definitions and characteristics.
