Abstract
"Study of conversion is as complex and many faceted as the study of religion itself. Heelas asks "How is clear cut conversion, when it occurs, to be explained? It must immediately be noted that the academic community is far from agreed about what could be taking place. Theories abound, ranging from the psychoanalytical to the cognitive. Advocates of different theories are committed to different accounts of human nature, ranging from the behaviouristic to the voluntaristic. Indeed there is so much diversity, with so little advance on the front of finding evidence which conclusively counts either for or against particular claims, that some academics have suggested that the best strategy is to be agnostic for the time being - on the matter of what exactly generates change" (Heelas 1996: 186)". ["Estudo da conversão é tão complexa e muitos facetado como o estudo da própria religião. Heelas pergunta: "Como é a conversão clara, quando ocorre, pode ser explicado? Ele deve ser imediatamente observado que a comunidade acadêmica está longe de ser acordado sobre o que poderia estar ocorrendo. Teorias não faltam, desde a psicanálise à cognitiva. Defensores da diferentes teorias estão empenhados em diferentes contas da natureza humana, que vão desde o behaviorista à voluntarista. na verdade, existe tanta diversidade, com tão pouca antecedência na frente de encontrar evidências que conclusivamente conta a favor ou contra as reivindicações específicas, que alguns acadêmicos têm sugeriu que a melhor estratégia é ser agnóstico por enquanto - sobre a questão do que exatamente gera mudança "(Heelas 1996: 186)".]
