Maturity and the Quest for Spiritual Meaning

This book is the outcome of two symposia, 'Maturity, Spirituality, and Theological Reconstruction' and 'Maturity in Ministry,' sponsored by Maturity Studies Institute, Inc. The following chapters are papers originally presented at these two symposia: Foundations of Meaning-Making; Life and Crises of Meaning-Making; and Maturity and Meaningful Ministry. This book is unique in its interdisciplinary nature using the concept of maturity as a tool to integrate the theological curriculum. It relates maturity to the biblical field, history, theology, preaching, administration, counseling, spirituality, psychology, and ethics.
