Researching Practice in Mission and Ministry

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.
