Self-restraint may appear to be the opposite of erotic desire. But in this careful literary analysis, Diane Lipsett traces the intriguing interplay of desire and self-restraint in three ancient Christian or Jewish tales of conversion, analyzing "conversion" itself as an effect of story, a function of narrative texture and coherence.
