Conversion of St Paul by Benvenuto Tisi ca 1525 |
Conversion and deconversion are the acts of moving away from one spiritual or religious identity and moving toward another identity. A generic term for the processes is Spiritual Transformations.
Conversion and deconversion can occur as a result of a spiritual struggle.
The processes of conversion have been scientifically studied for more than 100 years. An early observer was the American psychologist and philosopher, William James.
Read more about Spiritual Transformations in Chapter 15 of Counseling Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians.
See Spiritual Struggles and other spirituality measures in the Test Index for measures evaluating religiosity and spirituality.
