Human Development and Faith
This book brings together the best available understandings of human development from a multidisciplinary perspective. Uniquely inclusive of the moral and faith dimensions of context and life-cycle development, Human Development and Faith examines the interplay of mind, body, family, community, and soul at every stage of development. The second edition (2015) offers a new chapter on infancy, a revised preface, and other new findings in these fields of research.
Carrie Doering, Iliff School of Theology
"Human Development and Faith draws upon a wide range of current disciplinary perspectives on human development and brings them into dialogue with practices of care, faith, and the process of meaning-making. This is an excellent textbook for anyone interested in the relationship between family systems perspectives, human development, and how people make sense of life-cycle transitions and crises."
Read an excerpt from Human Development and Faith:
This newly revised second edition will prove useful to students of human development, parents, pastors, chaplains, theological educators, and psychotherapists. All chapters contain updated references. The Introduction and chapters 1,2,5,8, and 9 have been extensively written to include new material about family systems, theories, generational cohorts, pre-natal and infant development, as well as the needs of school age children and young adolescents.
Michael Eigen, author of The Sensitive Self, Ecstasy, and The Psychoanalytic Mystic
"An important exploration of the crossroads between faith, body, and culture. Wonderful portrayals of Soul as well as Self in developmental, i.e., incarnational terms. Faith grows as we grow with it, and this book helps define some of its developmental trajectories."
Words from the author:
"My own understanding of what it means to be human is necessarily limited by my social location as a middle-class, Anglo-American woman. But it has been my privilege to spend seven years living outside my own country in the 'other.' I am grateful for the diverse perspectives the contributors to this theoretical perspectives. While this book emphasizes what we have in common as human beings, our biological, cultural, generational, and individual differences demand to be honored. Each one of us is both fully human and fully unique. The contributors write from their distinct experiences about aspects of life recognizable to us all."
