The stimulus for this research came from the author's experience of
observing converts undergo a reattribution of meaning during and
subsequent to their conversion experiences. It was clear that
changed meanings took place; what was not clear was how and why
such changes occurred, nor where the impulse for such change came
from. Religious converts routinely report differences in the way
they attribute meaning as a consequence of religious conversion.
Previously known objects, events and persons are perceived
differently as a result of a new plausibility structure being
brought to bear. This research applies a phenomenological
interpretive method to interview transcripts obtained from recent
converts in order to explicate the meaning of transformative
religious experiences. The Apostle Paul's statement "but we have
the mind of Christ" (2 Cor 2:16) furnishes the central motif for
this research, as exemplified by his own experience of having
scales fall from his eyes at his own conversion on the Damascus
road-an experience which has become archetypical for all Christian
believers in every time and place.
