Rediscovering the Supernatural in Christian Conversion: The Divine-Human connection and its impact on Evangelism and Discipleship

By Kelly Hilderbrand

What truly brings a person to faith in Christ? Is belief formed only through teaching, culture, and community-or does conversion involve a real encounter with the Living God? In Rediscovering the Supernatural in Christian Conversion, Dr. Kelly Michael Hilderbrand argues that a divine-human encounter is a necess- ary-though not sufficient-element of Christian conversion across all cultures. Drawing on extensive research and firsthand accounts from diverse cultural contexts, this book challenges reductionist models that explain conversion purely in social or cognitive terms.

Hilderbrand proposes a fusion model of conversion that integrates the supernatural encounter with intellectual, relational, and discipleship processes. Rather than promoting simplistic supernaturalism, the book offers a balanced and bibiically grounded framework for understanding how faith begins and matures.
