Terminology Tuesday: Conversion
Within Christianity, the change in an individual that represents the beginning of new life in Christ. For many who come to faith as adults, conversion represents a specific experience. The nature of this conversion experience and its evidential status is debated by psychologists and philosophers of religion. It is noteworthy that conversions to other religions and even secular “faiths” such as Marxism are possible as well. See also salvation.
