Southern Baptist Clergy Discuss The Nature Of Christian Conversion : $Ba Conceptual Analysis, John Forrest Hall
Southern Baptist Clergy Discuss The Nature Of Christian Conversion : $Ba Conceptual Analysis, John Forrest Hall
Masters Theses
The proliferation of new religious movements in the West during the past few decades has stimulated social scientific interest in the phenomenon of conversion. Within sociology, conversion has been vaguely conceived, the sole source of definitive consensus being that the phenomenon involves radical personal change. Students of conversion have exhibited a lack of agreement regarding what changes an individual undergoes as a result of the experience and how the convert is to be located for research purposes.

An Evaluation Of The Spiritual Well-Being Scale: Reliability And Response Measurement, Daniel Dale Brinkman
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
The Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWB) is a 20 item self-report attitudinal measure of one's religious and existential well-being. It is the most extensively studied of the instruments developed to measure spiritual well-being (Moberg, 1986). Despite the popularity of this scale, it is still in the process of research and development. This study evaluated research done with the SWB scale considering the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (1985). While there has been much progress, two needs that became clear from this examination were for additional studies in the area of reliability and to try to "raise the ceiling" of the …
