Religious Coming of Age among Students at Antebellum Georgia's Evangelical Colleges Pubblico
Young, Pearl Joy (2010)

Abstract
Growing up within an evangelical Christian household meant
familiarity with its theology and
adherence to its expectations and practices. Yet, according to the
same theology, children of
converts could not be considered Christians (or members of the
church) unless they underwent
their own conversion experience. Then, what did it mean to
be a Christian? In antebellum
Georgia, many students at evangelical colleges were faced with this
dilemma. Those who
desired this identity for themselves had to define its meaning and
implication for their future life.
They had to determine how this identity would govern their daily
life. Ultimately, it changed
their perspective and motivation for their adult life, and the
purpose of their life became focused
on the hope of a future life in Heaven.
