Öz

Yazar İslam’a geçişin araştırması için kaynaklara genel
bir bakış atmakta ve teorinin doğasını incelemektedir. Teori bir
olgunun farklı yönlerini aydınlattığı kadar değerlidir. Çeşitli teorik
yaklaşımlar bazı boyutları içerirken diğerlerini dışlarlar. Din
değiştirme konusunda çalışan akademisyenler teorik konuların
farkında olmalı ve teorik seçeneklerden sistemli bir şekilde çok
yönlü yararlanmalıdır. Böyle bir yaklaşım din değiştirme anlayışını genişletecek ve üstelik karşılaştırmalı din değiştirme çalışmalarını da artıracaktır. Bu makalede ele alınan teorik yönelimler
şunlardır: küreselleşme, post-kolonyal, feminist, kültürlerarası,
dinî/manevî, entelektüel, anlatı, kimlik, ritüel, psikanaliz,
arketip, yükleme, bağlanma, süreç/evre ve İslamlaşma teorisi.
