The Transformative Power of Faith examines how and why some people,
particularly those coming out of highly self-destructive, violent,
and antisocial backgrounds who appear beyond repair, experience
profound personal transformation through conversion to strong
faith. Illustrated by stories of converts who came out of serious
drug addiction, gangs, and poverty through adherence to a demanding
faith, Erin Dufault-Hunter argues for a narrative approach to
conversion. This holistic theoretical perspective offers an
alternative epistemological stance to reductionistic models
sometimes perpetuated among social scientists and religious
ethicists alike. In this study, the narrative lens gives vision of
the religious "Other" a depth and complexity too often lacking.
Such an approach allows a deeper understanding of the dynamics of
personal transformation in ways that make sense of psychological
and social factors without ignoring so-called "spiritual" ones.
