Experiencing of Christian faith in adolescents of contemporary society
ZASADILOVÁ, Jana
The work deals with spiritual life of young Christians. In its introduction, it considers the possibility of paging on personal faith in God. In the theoretical part, it states Erikson's stages of the process of psychological development of man, with an emphasis on adolescence. It also examines the sociological view of identity of adolescents and identifies Fowler's theory of six stages of faith. Finally, it lists the various forms of religious experience. In the practical part it analyzes testimonies of seven young Christians and concludes that the personal faith of a young man grows up in the family, strengthens with knowledge of the doctrine and with religious experience, and flourishes under the influence of communities, and understanding priests and other believers. An important finding of the research is an intense feeling of otherness and exclusion of young Christians from secularized society.
