INVITED ESSAY: The Person-God Relationship:A Dynamic Model
The proposed dynamic model of the person-God relationship is conceived as a distinct, self-contained complement to the stage models of Fowler (1981, 1987, 1996) and of Oser and Gmünder(1991/1984).

| Summary: | The proposed dynamic model of the person-God relationship is conceived as a distinct, self-contained complement to the stage models of Fowler (1981, 1987, 1996) and of Oser and Gmünder(1991/1984). The presuppositions of, and the input into the dynamic model are explained, especially the underlying root conceptualization of human psychology, the nature and range of changes to be accommodated, and the partly guiding action theory. An example of a changing person-God relationship is discussed. The model elements and subelements, for example, the central self, striving self, social self, religious self, and the "outer world," their interactions, and the functions of the nested feedback loops are presented. Finally, a comment on the further development of the model is provided. |
