Ethnographic Theology (eBook, PDF)

An Inquiry into the Production of Theological Knowledge

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book uses ethnography as theological practice, yielding a theology constructed at the intersection of church, academy and everyday life. Drawing on the author's research in her Baptist church, the resulting 'ethnographic theology' produces creative theological insights, while also proposing fresh alternatives for Christian thought and action.

Rezensionen

"The volume is addressed to other academic theologians, particularly those who desire to produce knowledge not about or for but through those who empower their work. ... I found her ways of weaving dense theory and theology through ethnography a pleasure to read." (Rebecca Spurrier, Shorter Reviews, Vol. 70 (4), October, 2016)
