A New Model of Religious Conversion
Beyond Network Theory and Social Constructivism
Series:
Religion in the Americas, Volume: 14
Author: Ines W. Jindra
Based on the analysis of 52 conversion narratives to various religious groups, A New Model of Religious Conversion utilizes case studies for comparison of converts' backgrounds, network influence, and conversion narratives. The author convincingly illustrates a "fit" between the converts' background and the religion they convert to, such as between disorganized family backgrounds and highly structured religions. Conversely, those from highly structured backgrounds often convert to more "open" groups. The book also makes it clear that not all conversions are influenced by networks or align themselves with a social constructivist view of a conversion as an "account." Taking converts' trajectories seriously, the author makes a strong case for the application of biographical sociology to the study of conversion and (American) sociology overall.

Religious views that are inculcated into a member of a certain family mostly depend on the views of the other members of the family. Still if one finds a separate religion's views and foci more promising then according to our constitution he or she is free to choose whichever religion he wants to follow. The main focus of any religion is acceptance , acceptance beyond everything. Here if a person is able to adopt the views
Of a separate religion from the inside then no doubt the person is following one religion in common, humanity
