Riassunto

•Practical Theology is the fastest growing field in theology at the moment. SCM is the leading publisher in this field. There are hundreds of postgraduate students on MA and Professional Doctorate programmes.•A book on research methodology written for researchers and postgraduates in theology fills a significant gap in the market.•Helen Cameron has more than ten years experience of teaching research methods and has a good track record as an SCM author. This book proposes to bring together three elements for the benefit of those researching practice in ministry and mission:•how to design research that enables questions about practice to be answered in a theological framework.•how to address the methodological and epistemological issues that arise in relating empirical research to theology.•how to manage a piece of research as a project alongside other responsibilities.Students in PT mostly rely on research methods books written for social science students which tend to assume that the student is young and full-time. This book will act as a companion to student and supervisor needing to bring all three elements listed above together.
