The author of this article investigates what he calls the miracle of conversion, considering the process, the various individual experiences of conversion, and the true nature of the fall of man.

The author provides a preview of the Pelagian controversy from early church history, which involved Augustine and Pelagius (a later development of Pelagianism became known as semi-Pelagianism). The controversy in question centres around the nature of the fall of man, saving grace, and the will of man.
