Review :
A book most needed, for students, researchers, and practitioners alike. The book highlights the difficult question of the credibility and authenticity of asylum seeker conversion and several chapters show how 'true conversion' and 'religion' are often (un)consciously associated too tightly with a (Lutheran) Protestant view. The cross-disciplinary, comparative approach includes data from the processes of legal decisions, court ethnography, as well as voices of asylum seekers themselves. The editors and contributors should be congratulated on the production of a well-constructed and informative volume about a crucial, and hitherto poorly understood, topic.
