Joseph Nguyen Van Phong : An Essay of construction and utilization of a religious conversion model: the example of Constantin the Great.
The point is to built a dynamic model to understand the success or failure of the conversion of a national political leader, offered to leave aside the major religion (for example paganism) in order to embrace or at least tolerate a minoritary usually forbidden religion (for example Catholicism). In order to account for the action or interaction patterns of the mechanisms of decision, a system of continuous dynamic model was chosen, with 4 equations, linking together 4 endogeneous variables and 1 exogeneous. The endogeneous ones are: P, or the sum of pressures exerted on the subject by the partisans of traditional religions; I, the influence of the community of the new religion; E, the evaluation made by the subject of the value or superiority of the new religion; D, or the determination of the subject to assume such or such attitude towards the minoritary religion. Finally, C, is the exogenous variable measuring all the situational, social, political, economic, religious, military factors of the former system which may create variations in the 4 endogeneous variables relations.
