A unique introduction to the developing field of Theology and
Qualitative Research In recent years, a growing number of scholars
within the field of theological research have adopted qualitative
empirical methods. The use of qualitative research is shaping the
nature of theology and redefining what it means to be a theologian.
Hence, contemporary scholars who are undertaking empirical
fieldwork across a range of theological subdisciplines require
authoritative guidance and well-developed frameworks of practice
and theory. The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Theology and
Qualitative Research outlines the challenges and possibilities for
theological research that engages with qualitative methods. It
reflects more than 15 years of academic research within the
Ecclesiology and Ethnography Network, and features an international
group of scholars committed to the empirical and theological study
of the Christian church. Edited by world-renowned experts, this
unprecedented volume addresses the theological debates,
methodological complexities, and future directions of this emerging
field. Contributions from both established and emerging scholars
describe key theoretical approaches, discuss how different
empirical methods are used within theology, explore the links
between qualitative researchand adjacent scholarly traditions, and
more. The companion: Discusses how qualitative empirical work
changes the practice of theology, enabling a disciplined attention
to the lived social realities of Christian religion and what
theologians do Introduces theoretical and methodological debates in
the field, as well as central epistemological and ontological
questions Presents different approaches to Theology and Qualitative
research, highlighting important issues and developments in the
last decades Explores how empirical insights are shaping areas such
as liturgics, homiletics, youth ministry, and Christian education
Includes perspectives from scholars working in disciplines other
than theology The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Theology and
Qualitative Research is essential reading for graduate students,
postgraduates, PhD students, researchers, and scholars in Christian
Ethics, Systematic Theology, Practical Theology, Contemporary
Worship, and related disciplines such as Ecclesiology, Mission
Studies, World Christianity, Pastoral Theology, Political Theology,
Worship Studies, and all forms of contextual theology.
