<transcy>Conversion routes (Itinéraires de conversion) </transcy>

Presentation

This book on conversion is unique. The approach proposed in this book renews our understanding of the conversion experience and its dynamics.

The author, who has scrutinized for many years the itineraries of young converts to the Christian faith, questions the models of conversion which serve as a reference during the pastoral accompaniment of new converts. It offers a support strategy tested by practice that can certainly be useful to you.
