Conversion is an experience but also a metaphor. In Christian and post-Christian societies it affects the way we think about the self and how we might want to change; it also affects how we imagine society changing, in particular through the notion of revolution. But is sudden, radical change really possible in human life? And even if it is, should we desire it?
