Mission and Conversion: Proselytizing in the Religious History of the Roman Empire - Clarendon Paperbacks
Goodman, Martin (Reader in Jewish Studies and Fellow, Reader in Jewish Studies and Fellow, Wolfson College, Oxford and the Oxford Centre for Hebrew Studies)
This text tackles a central problem of Jewish and comparative religious history: proselytization and the origins of mission in the Early Church. The author offers a controversial theory that mission is not an inherent religious instinct, and that its importance was rarely stressed in antiquity.
