James Fowler and Faith Development

I'm finishing up my summer semester at Georgia State with a paper on faith development. I've never studied how a child or adolescent, or even adult for that matter, develops their faith. James Fowler is the father of faith development. He wrote a book in 1981 entitled Stages of Faith: The Psychology of Human Development and the Quest for Meaning. I didn't actually read his book, but I read about his book and many other articles that cited his book and other work. This is an area in psychology that really tweaked my interest. If it tweaks yours as well, check him out.
