Conversion & Transformation
Course Description
A comprehensive experience of conversion is essential for spiritual transformation and a vital piety. Join us as we examine the theology of religious experience, exploring the nature and character of Christian conversion, Christian initiation and spiritual change. Learn to think critically and theologically about religious experience in general, with a particular focus on the nature and character of conversion, and discover the theological rationale for approaches to Christian initiation that foster spiritual formation. Finally, cultivate self-knowledge and personal transformation through a deeper understanding of your own conversion experience.Offered | 2026 Winter |
