The document discusses faith development and James Fowler's stages of faith. It explores questions about who Jesus is and why he had to die. It also examines the different stages of faith development from childhood through adulthood, including intuitive-projective faith in early childhood, mythic-literal faith in middle childhood, synthetic-conventional faith in adolescence, individuative-reflective faith in emerging adulthood, and conjunctive faith in middle adulthood. Finally, it asks what causes faith to grow or change over these developmental stages.
