Religion / Christian book review
English term or phrase: born-again Christian
I fell to my knees at the end and cried. This book reminded me why I became a born-again Christian. Its messages are not only powerful, but also true

agree  Beatriz Ramírez de Haro: Tú llegaste primero, John. Pondría cristiano con minúscula. Salu2
1 hr
  -> Cierto, en español los cristianos, budistas y taoístas van con minúsculas. Muchas gracias. :-) Salu2
agree  MollyRose: cristiano nacido de nuevo o cristiano renacido, either one. But I've heard the first one more.

  -> Thank you very much, Molly. :-)
agree  JaneTranslates: And with MollyRose. The one I hear most often is "nacido de nuevo." / And in Puerto Rico. Not that I've done a survey! My evidence is purely anecdotal. 8-D

born-again christian
cristiano renacido


Explanation:
Depende del contexto anterior (el momento de conversión del que habla), pero se me ocurre algo así:

Al final, me arrodillé y lloré. Este libro me hizo recordar el momento en que me convertí en un cristiano renacido.

agree  Alexandra Quesada: Por favor no colocar cristiano renacido. Dentro de la jerga cristiana se utiliza la frase el volver a nacer en Cristo o volver a nacer como cristiano.
1 hr
  -> Gracias, Alexandra
agree  MollyRose: Volver a nacer como cristiano is more accurate grammatically, because once a Christian, you don't get born again because you became born again to become a Christian.
