Regenerate is a Christian adventure concerning an association known as the Delta-Phi. These Christians apply exceptional talents, gifts, resources and visions to some extraordinary situations. The Delta-Phi originates in Solomon's day but, after a period of dormancy, is revived in contemporary times.
