520    The Anthropology of Religious Conversion paints a picture 
       of conversion far more complex than its customary image in
       anthropology and religious studies. Conversion is very 
       seldom simply a sudden moment of insight or inspiration; 
       it is a change both of individual consciousness and of 
       social belonging, of mental attitude and of physical 
       experience, whose unfolding depends both on its cultural 
       setting and on the distinct individuals who undergo it. 
       The book explores religious conversion in a variety of 
       cultural settings and considers how anthropological 
       approaches can help us understand the pheno.
