Decades Of Life

In groundbreaking fashion Donald Capps builds on the work of Erik Erikson and James Fowler on the eight stages of life and faith development by focusing on the decades of life. This important modification allows developmental theory to be applied to the way people discuss life stages- in ten-year periods. Capps integrates the insights of psychology with those of pasoral care to show pastors and students how the decades of life impact churches and create situations and contexts for ministry.
