Conversion: The Old and the New in Religion from Alexander the Great to Augustine of Hippo

This 1961 Oxford Paperbacks edition is in fair condition, showing signs of wear typical for an ex-library copy. The cover has some creasing and edge wear, and there is a library stamp from the Library of Vic Hunter on the title page. The binding remains intact, though the pages show some yellowing due to age. No dust jacket is present, as this is a paperback edition.

"Conversion: The Old and the New in Religion from Alexander the Great to Augustine of Hippo" by A. D. Nock, published by Oxford University Press in London, 1961, is a significant work exploring religious transformations across ancient and early Christian history. This edition was first issued in Oxford Paperbacks in 1961, making it distinct from the original 1933 hardcover edition. A. D. Nock, a renowned scholar in religious studies, provides an in-depth analysis of conversion practices and their impact on cultural and societal changes. This paperback edition is particularly notable for its accessibility and enduring scholarly relevance. The book is ex-library, with a stamp from the Library of Vic Hunter, and lacks a dust jacket as it is a paperback. Despite its age, this copy is a valuable resource for those interested in religious history and the dynamics of conversion.
