From the perspective of religious education, it is noteworthy to understand how the religious faith of adolescents is shaped. Basing on the “faith development” theory proposed by James Fowler, Professor of Theology and Human Development at Emory University, the present paper takes as a case study the interview materials of nine middle school Christian students from three Protestant churches in City A and B along the coast of Fujian Province, China. These materials are analyzed, focusing on two central elements, that is, 1) interpersonal relationship and 2) religious symbols (rituals), which constitute the “faith development” narratives of these Christian students.chiChristian Study Centre on Chinese Religion and Culture, Chung Chi College, Shatin, Hong KongChinaChristian ethicsreligionfaith developmentChristian students from middle schoolFujian ProvinceIntercultural and contextual theologiesAsian theologiesArticle
