Kiesling This class will explore a variety of theoretical models that provide conceptual itineraries for the young and middle adult years. Focus is given to theological reflection on how life's curriculum during these decades of life (e.g. intimacy, work, responsibility and care, identity, and family), can move us toward a deeper valuing of steadfast love; care for future generations, justice in our world and movement toward a shalom community. Focusing primarily on a North American context, this class considers how the socio-cultural context has led to reconceptualization about what constitutes development in the adult years. Evaluation will be given to the various ways churches, authors and faith-based organizations are attempting to meet these challenges
