Homework: Reflection Paper
Overview
The Reflection Paper will include your analysis, impressions, and reflections of the Fowler text. The paper provides an opportunity to critically evaluate a theory of spiritual development and to reflect on your own spiritual development.
Instructions
An abstract is not required for this paper, but the paper must include a title page and reference page in current APA format; headings are optional. The paper must be 2 to 3 pages (not including title page and reference page) and written in current APA format. The only reference needed is the book itself; no additional materials are necessary. The paper must include a brief summary of the book; an evaluation of Fowler's theory; your thoughts, feelings, analysis, impressions, and reflections of the book and the theory; and any insights gained about yourself and your own spiritual development. First person point-of-view is acceptable for this homework.
Some questions to consider for the paper:
Question I. How does the book and Fowler's theory fit, or not fit, with a Christian worldview? With your own worldview?
Question II. What are some aspects of the book and the theory that you agree or disagree with? Why?
Question III. How does the theory fit, or not fit, with what you are learning about adult psychology, or with your own perceptions of adult development and psychology? How does the theory fit with your own perceptions of, and beliefs about, Christianity?
Question IV. How does the theory fit, or not fit, with what the Bible teaches about faith and development?
Question V. How does the theory apply toyour own life? Or does it apply at all? If not, why not?
Question VI. What stage of faith do you see yourself as being in? How did you get there? Or do you not see this model as applying to your own spiritual development? If not, why not?
Question VII. Do you think there is an optimal stage of faith? Why or why not?
You do not have to answer these specific questions-they are provided to give you a place to begin. You may choose to write from a different perspective than the ideas posed by these questions. Do not include the questions in the paper, write the paper in a question and answer format, or write the paper as a list of answers to the above questions.
