Description: 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.
