Becoming adult, becoming Christian

Fowler presents in Becoming Adult, Becoming Christian the four dominant adult development theories today, highlighting their images of wholeness, maturity, and human potential. His discussion probes Erikson's existential psychology; Daniel Levinson's Seasons of a Man's Life; Carol Gilligan's feminist reinterpretations; and his own work on faith development theory, focusing here on its implicit vision of the self in evolution toward ethical and faith maturity.
