| Summary: | This article provides an insider's account of The Oxford Handbook of Religious Conversion from the perspective of one of the authors who contributed to the volume. After discussing the Handbook's value as a map of the emerging academic subfield of conversion studies, I describe how my chapter, like many others, shows how broader trends in academic scholarship are reflected in the subfield of conversion studies. Finally, I show how the volume may be used to catalyze further comparative study of religious conversion by examining two themes found in conversion accounts widely dispersed across history and culture: karma and dreams. |
