Description
Perspectives on Ecclesiology and Ethnography explores the relationship between theology and empirical research in understanding the church's practices and social reality. To regain its relevance, theologians need to adopt ethnographical tools for more accurate and disciplined research.
The inaugural volume of a cross-disciplinary series, this book proposes that the church is both theological and social/cultural, requiring a methodological shift for researchers in theology. Twelve scholar-practitioners contribute to the discussion, leading the way forward in addressing the gap between empirical and theological analyses.
