About this book
This nuanced and carefully researched look at the stages along life’s journey, by a celebrated psychologist and a theologian, serves as a tool of discernment for Christians progressing through the earthly journey. It covers young adulthood, with the moral and interpersonal challenges presented by organic sexual maturing (with a sensitivity to GLBT issues); the role of interpersonal intimacy in religious growth; the responsibility to embrace full adulthood; the gifts that middle age allow us to offer to others in our lives; the need for ongoing personal development in old age; and a Christian view of death and dying. “[A]n insightful and practical exploration of adult Christian development… will be of help not only to those involved in pastoral ministry but to all adult Christians. The book is a welcome contribution to an increasingly important field. It contributes to adult religious self-understanding, to integrated pastoral practice, and to continuing interdisciplinary research. The authors are balanced, challenging, realistic, stimulating.”—Spirituality Today
