International Journal for the Psychology of Religion

This special issue offers a fresh re-evaluation of James Fowler's faith development theory, in celebration of his 60th birthday. Challenges to the theory have focused on the role of emotion in faith, the contributions of the psychodynamic unconscious, and the factor of the interpersonal. Now in its third decade, the theory continues to inspire theoretical and methodological reflections. The papers presented reflect the considerable influence of this theory. This issue's theme--"Religious Development Beyond the Modern Paradigm?"--was the topic of a symposium held in Boston at the 107th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association.Streib is the author of 'International Journal for the Psychology of Religion' with ISBN 9780805897012 and ISBN 0805897011.
