| Summary |
The current volume updates and expands earlier studies of proselytism, and explores more thoroughly the theoretical and practical implications of proselytization and anti-proselytization, notably within the current phase of democratization and globalization. Several authors offer analyses of the new actors, movements, and territories now associated with proselytic activity, demonstrating its global significance. |
