Abstract
ABSTRACT Religious conversion from Catholicism to a Born Again denomination is an increasingly common phenomenon in the Philippines. Such conversions inspire personal narratives. Using various forms of testimony, new converts use autobiographical methods to narrate both an individual and universal story. The probative and transmissive dimensions of testimony are also affected by power figures, as these narrative forms are produced before the pastors in the new religion. What then of the reflexivity of the author of the testimony? Even if the conversion narrative contributes to the plausibility of the new social structure joined by the conversion, the latter can also be a source of reflexivity since it contains an internal dialogue with oneself.
