Evangelical Conversion Narrative - Hindmarsh, D. Bruce (James M. Houston Associate Professor of Spiritual Theology, Regent College, Vancouver)

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, thousands of ordinary women and men experienced evangelical conversion and turned to a certain form of spiritual autobiography to make sense of their lives. This book traces the rise and progress of 'conversion narrative' in England during this period and establishes some of the cultural conditions that allowed the genre to proliferate.
