Beschreibung
This book is a theoretical inquiry into the hermeneutics of James Fowler's theory of faith development; therefore, it starts with an investigation of Fowler's theory. For an account of the hermeneutics of metaphor, symbol, and narrative, it investigates the work of Paul Ricoeur. Thus it engages in a correlative discussion; it attempts to strengthen, within a theory of the structural-developmental family, the hermeneutical perspective and presents the proposal of a contextualist model for faith development theory. In investigating Fowler's theory, and in proposing the contextualist model, the reflection focuses on: the conceptualization of faith; the model of development in faith; and the research method in faith development.
