Digitized by Google CHAPTER Xm NORBfAL RELIGIOUS DEVELOPMENT All authorities agree that the normal religious development of adolescence is one of gradual growth, including also what has been discussed by some as spontaneous awakening. In contrast to this, those experiences comprehended under the term conversion, such as intense, sudden emotional changes induced by manipulation, are regarded as abnormal. The word conversion is used by many authors in two senses. In the broader meaning it designa...tes the transition from the world and attitude of childhood to the religious interests of maturity. In the other, it signifies the sud- den, emotional and forced transformations which often occur in "revivals.'* G. Stanley Hall has the former in mind when he says : *^ In its most fundamental sense, conversion is a natural, normal, universal, and necessary process at the stage when life pivots over from an autocentric to an heterocentric basis." He further remarks that as civilization advances its revo- lutions cease to be sudden and violent, and become gradual without abrupt change.
