“[this] book acknowledges that cultural traditions spread over long distances even in ancient times, but it also recognizes that expansive traditions often faced fierce opposition, and it holds further that cross-cultural conversion is a deeply problematical concept. indeed, [this] book argues that religious and cultural traditions rarely won foreign converts except when favored by a powerful set of political, social or economic incentives. sometimes the prospect of trade or political alliance drew a people’s attention to a foreign cultural tradition. other times state sponsorship made political and military support available to an expanding cultural tradition. yet even under the best of circumstances . . expansive cultural traditions rarely attracted large numbers of foreign adherents without the aid of a syncretic process.”
jerry h. bentley, historian, old world encounters, 1993
