Transforming Conversion Rethinking the Language and Contours of Christian Initiation
Smith, Gordon T. 1953-
Transforming Conversion Rethinking the Language and Contours of Christian Initiation Gordon T. Smith - U.S.A. Baker Academic 2010 - 208tr. paperback, illustration 23 cm
Gordon 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.
