It does this by accessing relevant empirical evidence using the tools of the social sciences, and placing this evidence in the context of theological critique and contemporary debate. In this pioneering collection of focused essays, leading experts of empirical theology illustrate key perspectives within this rapidly expanding discipline. The first section of the book explores theoretical issues underpinning the main methods of obtaining empirical data, and the use of these data within theology. The other two sections display the role both of qualitative studies, and of the analysis of quantitative data, in exploring a range of theological beliefs and religious, social and educational concerns. 410 0$aEmpirical studies in theology ;$vv. 17. 606 $aEmpirical theology 615 0$aEmpirical theology. 676 $a230/.046 701 $aFrancis$b Leslie J$0547628 701 $aRobbins$b Mandy$01582413 701 $aAstley$b Jeff$01471373 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778517303321 996 $aEmpirical theology in texts and tables$93864771 997 $aUNINA
