Five Invaluable Resources for Young Adult Religious Education
Winings, Kathy
Religious Education, v102 n2 p224-232 Mar 2007
More than a decade ago, the popular topic of discussion in higher education and in pop culture concerned the character traits of what was then called "Generation X" or "GenX" for short. One lasting impact of this focus has been a renewed effort on the part of higher education to define young adulthood and to reassess young adult education. In the field of religious education, there has likewise been renewed interest in the area of young adulthood and what this means for the field of religious education. In this article, the author describes five diverse resources for young adult religious education. These resources include: (1) "Handbook of Young Adult Education" edited by Harley Atkinson; (2) "Virtual Faith: The Irreverent Spiritual Quest of Generation X" by Tom Beaudoin; (3) "The New Faithful: Why Young Adults Are Embracing Christian Orthodoxy" by Colleen Carroll; (4) "The Fabric of Faithfulness: Weaving Together Belief and Behavior during the University Years" by Steven Garber; and (5) "Thank You for Asking: Conversing with Young Adults about the Future Church" by Sara Wenger Shenk.
