Abstract

113 FRIEDRICH SCHWEITZER RELIGIOUS DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION Practical-theological and Educational Comments on Kalevi Tamminen's Comparison of Faith Development and Religious Judgement K.Tamminen's attempt to further illumine the relationship between the theo- ries of faith development and the development of religious judgement (which in the following will be referred to as 'Faith' and 'Religious Judgement') in many ways contributes to, and enriches, the practical-theological and educa- tional discussion on these theories.
