Invitation to Research in Practical Theology, Hardback Book

Invitation to Research in Practical Theology Hardback

Hardback

Description

Practical theology as a subject area has grown and become more sophisticated in its methods and self-understanding over the last few decades.

This book provides a complete and original research primer in the major theories, approaches and methods at the cutting-edge of research in contemporary practical theology.

It represents a reflection on the very practice of the discipline itself, its foundational questions and epistemological claims.

Each chapter examines different aspects of the research process: starting with experience and practice, aspects of research design and epistemology, communities of learning, the influence of theological norms and tradition on the practice of research, and ethical considerations about what constitutes ‘the good’ in advanced research. The uniqueness of this book rests in its authoritative overview of current practical theological research across a range of traditions and approaches, combined with a comprehensive introduction to research methodology.

It offers worked examples from the authors, their colleagues and research students that serve to illustrate key ideas and approaches in practical theological research.

The four authors are all internationally-leading scholars and rank amongst the most influential figures in practical theology of their generation.

The book promises to be of interest to students, teachers and researchers in practical theology, especially those looking to conduct original practice-based enquiry in the field.
