James Fowler, pastoral psychology scholar, dies at age 75
James W. Fowler III, a scholar of practical theology and pastoral psychology, died October 16 in Atlanta, at age 75, from complications related to Alzheimer’s disease.
Fowler, who was ordained in the United Methodist Church, taught theology and human development at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology and was director of the Emory Center for Ethics until his retirement in 2005.
“Under Jim’s leadership the Ethics Center grew to become a major force at Emory and across the nation,” said James Laney, former president of Emory and former dean of Candler.
