Your text presents the idea of an interactive relationship between nature and nurture in our development. It also proposes that our identities are both stable and yet always changing.

1. What factors have led to your own identity formation? Has your personality remained stable or have you experienced change?
2. Give examples from your own life or from what you have witnessed in someone else's life of what would either limit or encourage personal change.
3. What does scripture say about identity?
4. How does a view that encompasses both nature and nurture and also stability and change inform our theology about topics such a free-will, grace, and redemption?
