Conversion

Plot

What is convesion? How does it take place, and what does it do to the man or woman who is converted? Must conversion be a dramatic experience, such as that of Paul, or Augustine, or Wesley? Not neccesarily, maintains Dr. Routley: 'There are plenty of religious people today who are driven half-frantic by the conviction that they have not been converted simply because they can find nothing in their past lives that corresponds to the Damascus Road.' Evangelism and conversion are basic concerns of today's church. In a lively and popular manner the author explores their biblical roots and meanings, their aims and effects, and how conversion is related to the ongoing life and mission of the church.
