| Summary: | This article reviews David W. Kling’s A History of Christian Conversion by putting it into dialogue with mission history. It suggests that conversion is an integral component of mission history that prioritizes the personal and social dimensions of religious change. Engaging the author’s expansive temporal, geographical, cultural, and social synthesis of the scholarship on conversion, the article highlights the value of Kling’s comprehensive work: it is highly useful for mission history but does not encompass its entirety. |
