In response, the chief focus of this book is to take a broader look at religious conversion to determine the precursors and pathways from atheistic disbelief to belief in God and Christianity within an educated population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFindings are drawn from PhD-based research evaluating a broad range of functional and substantive variables influencing religious conversion. Data was collected through both survey and interview of fifty educated, sceptical atheists in the contemporary West who once held belief in God and Christianity as implausible, unattractive, and irrelevant. Yet, they became utterly convinced that the Christian faith was true and good, worth personal life commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese former atheists not only experienced a change of their worldview, but also a dramatic transformation of their ‘whole world.’ In-depth narrative analysis revealed the integrated, transformative nature of religious conversion in areas of sense-making, identity, experience, meaning and purpose, community, language, and spirituality. Overall, \u003cem\u003eAtheists Finding God\u003c\/em\u003e advances the case for using an inclusive, transformational perspective in future description, conception, and modelling for religious conversion of atheists to conservative forms of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933871685868,"sku":"9781793641342","price":133.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781793641342-atheists-finding-god.jpg?v=1783881176"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/jana-s-harmon.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
