Strathern, Alan (University of Oxford)

Converting Rulers: Kongo, Japan, Thailand, Hawaii and Global Patterns, 1450–1850

Why did so many rulers throughout history risk converting to a new religion brought by outsiders? Building on his previous work through in-depth analysis of key turning points, Strathern deploys rich theoretical arguments to understand why warlords, chiefs and kings across the world did or did not convert to Christianity.
