Bruce Main, If Jesus were a senior: last-minute preparations for postcollege life (Westminster John Knox, 2003) – as above, but drawing on a wider range of Christian spiritual writing
Laurent Parks Daloz et al, Common fire: lives of commitment in a complex world (Beacon Press, 1997) – coming somewhere between ‘young adulthood’ and ‘midlife’, this US study focuses upon one hundred women and men in their thirties and forties who have been able to sustain a long-term commitment to transforming the world around them. Not specifically a theological study, but co-author Sharon Daloz Parks is a leading writer on faith development theory and the book is attentive to similar questions.
