Oh and...
In the book I reviewed below I noted that Alan Jamieson used Fowler's Stages of Faith as a key part of his analysis. I'm thinking at some point I might do a fuller review of Fowler, though not here.
That all being the case, if Fowler was intriguing to you, and helpful, as he generally is to most people thinking about faith things, I would heartily recommend James Loders' The Logic of the Spirit.
Loder takes Fowler's categories as a part of an overall study of human psychological and spiritual development, with the wonderful addition of really taking the specifics of the Christian faith seriously, and integrating a very excellent understanding of the Holy Spirit in it all. Fowler alone is a bit like Niebuhr's Christ and Culture, it's a good conversation starter but overall an incomplete approach to real people.
