For far too many Christians, conversion is reduced to just a personal change of mind and heart. This leaves our relationships and institutions out of the Gospel call to holiness. This book proposes metanoia as four mutually enriching phases of conversion ? personal, interpersonal, ecclesial and structural. The Four Conversions demonstrates the theological and psychological connections between personal change and family development, congregational development and social transformation. Integrating the latest insights from Trinitarian theology, family systems theory, clinical psychology and organizational studies, this work will give readers a deeper appreciation for the Church?s tradition of faith development.
