Conversion Narratives is a literary genre within religious and spiritual writing that recounts and interprets an individual’s movement from one state of belief, identity, or moral orientation to another, typically framing this transformation as a meaningful, often exemplary, process of spiritual crisis, commitment, and renewal shaped by specific doctrinal and communal norms.
