In this presentation, I discussed the value of understanding deconstruction as part of normal faith development along the lines of McDowell and Marriott’s description of deconstruction in their book Set Adrift. In that discussion, I described my theory of Faith Identity development as well as how the notion of deconstruction fits within it. I also described the Faith Identity Test as a means of assessing someone’s location to determine where they are in terms of Faith Identity formation. Below are the presentation slides and handouts I used. All of this information will be featured in my book on faith development, From Belief to Being, due to release later this year (2026) by Kendall Hunt Publishing.
