Description

Encounters between religions and the resulting questions pertaining to belief and faith are among the most intriguing subjects with which scholars grapple.

How do people adjust, accommodate, resist, reinterpret and harmonize different systems of belief?

Do religious conversions often mask more worldly concerns such as political power, economic well being, and the ability to control one's destiny?

Specifically adopting a cross-hemispheric approach, this volume draws on experiences of religious change principally in hispanophone America, but also in anglophone and francophone America, in order to transcend cultural frontiers, illuminate the circumstances and conditions which determined the form that spiritual encounters took across the hemisphere, and encourage a comparative approach.
