Outline: Although "born again" Christians have received much attention in the media, some theologians and missiologists are downplaying the importance of conversion. While the media portray a shallow understanding of the concept, theologians engaged in dialogue with representatives of other world religions tend to shy away from anything which might be labeled "proselytizing." Both tendencies de…
