This volume offers much-needed theological reflection on the
phenomenon of conversion and transformation. Gordon Smith provides
a robust evaluation that covers the broad range of thinking about
conversion across Christian traditions and addresses global
contexts. Smith contends that both in the church and in discussions
about contemporary mission, the language of conversion inherited
from revivalism is inadequate in helping to navigate the questions
that shape how we do church, how we approach faith formation, how
evangelism is integrated into congregational life, and how we
witness to the faith in non-Christian environments. We must rethink
the nature of the church in light of how people actually come to
faith in Christ. After drawing on ancient and pre-revivalist wisdom
on conversion, Smith delineates the contours of conversion and
Christian initiation for today's church. He concludes by discussing
the art of spiritual autobiography and what it means to be a
congregation.
