In many parts of the world today you will meet people who say they are ‘born again Christians’. Numerous individuals claim to be ‘reborn’ or ‘regenerate’. Every so often, the media report that some celebrity or other has been ‘born again’. Pollsters suggest that as many as 80-90 million Americans claim to be born again. This book is written with the intention of helping those who want to study the subject from a biblical point of view. If, as we believe, the new birth is entering ‘a new world, a new state of existence’, with ‘a new capacity for action’ — then it is something we all need to know about and something we all need to understand clearly, whether we have experienced it or not.

'While I was in London I met up with my good friend Gary Brady.  Gary has written some fine books and his latest, What the Bible Teaches about Being Born Again , is a welcome treatment of the subject.  Great stuff.  Clear and straightforward prose on one of the most travelled phrases of twentieth and twenty-first century Christianity.  Read it for some clear thinking and make sure you have some on stock for newcomers to the faith.'
