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.
