The act of converting people to certain beliefs or values is highly controversial in today's postcolonial, multicultural world. Proselytization has been viewed by some as an aggressive act of political domination. Proselytization Revisited offers a comprehensive overview of the many arguments for and against proselytization in different regions and contexts. Proselytization is examined in the context of rights talk, globalisation and culture wars. The volume brings together essays demonstrating the global significance of proselytization, ranging from Christians in India to Turkish Islamic Movements and the Wiccan use of modern media technologies. The cross-cultural and multidisciplinary nature of this collection of essays provides a fresh perspective and the book will be of value to readers interested in the dynamic interaction of beliefs, ideas and cultures.

Attentats en France, extension spectaculaire de l’évangélisme et du salafisme, repli des communautés juives, fronde catholique contre le mariage pour tous, recrutement de djihadistes sur Internet, laïcité « universelle » contre foulard confessionnel… la question religieuse électrise la sphère politique et sociale. Cette actualité brûlante place la question du prosélytisme au cœur des combats politiques et sociaux d’aujourd’hui. Des débats où les trois grandes religions apparaissent à l’avant-garde. Les études ici réunies se déploient dans des espaces géographiques primordiaux pour la recherche allant d’Europe (France, Suède, Italie) jusqu’en Afrique (Cap-Vert) en passant par le monde arabo-musulman (Maroc, Tunisie, Égypte et Liban). Les auteurs analysent les réactions et réponses des sociétés confrontées à la question prosélyte, en exposant leurs spécificités socio-historiques et leurs dynamiques propres. Ce faisant, cet ouvrage dresse un tableau nuancé et fidèle des prosélytismes à l’œuvre et offre un ensemble inédit de matériaux et de concepts sociologiques à qui veut comprendre les soubresauts et les tensions de notre monde contemporain.

In modern times, various Jewish groups have argued whether Jewishness is a function of ethnicity, of nationality, of religion, or of all three. These fundamental conceptions were already in place in antiquity. The peculiar combination of ethnicity, nationality, and religion that would characterize Jewishness through the centuries first took shape in the second century B.C.E. This brilliantly argued, accessible book unravels one of the most complex issues of late antiquity by showing how these elements were understood and applied in the construction of Jewish identity-by Jews, by gentiles, and by the state.Beginning with the intriguing case of Herod the Great's Jewishness, Cohen moves on to discuss what made or did not make Jewish identity during the period, the question of conversion, the prohibition of intermarriage, matrilineal descent, and the place of the convert in the Jewish and non-Jewish worlds. His superb study is unique in that it draws on a wide range of sources: Jewish literature written in Greek, classical sources, and rabbinic texts, both ancient and medieval. It also features a detailed discussion of many of the central rabbinic texts dealing with conversion to Judaism.
