converts from judaism

This initial volume of the Collected Works offers, for the first time in English, Edith Stein's unabridged autobiography depicting herself as a child and young adult. Her text breaks abruptly because the Gestapo arrested, then deported her to Auschwitz in 1942.

Lauren Winner chronicles the first year of her life after she converted to Christianity, discussing how her Reform Jewish father and lapsed Southern Baptist mother reacted to her choice.
