"Doing Research in Practical Theology provides a step-by-step introduction to the setting up and execution of good quality practical theological research. This 'how-to' handbook provides an accessible resource for students in Practical Theology who are in the process of developing and carrying out a research project. The structure systematically follows a number of core questions to be answered in any practical theological study, and allows the reader to reflect on eight basic steps that will help in their research in practical theology. With a pragmatic approach and examples from recently published case studies, this book appeals to researchers in Practical Theology, and in particular masters and PhD students and their supervisors. At the end of each chapter, questions for reflection are presented. These are useful both for executive researchers (whether master's students or senior researchers) and for those who supervise research (either as master's thesis supervisor or promotor of a PhD study)"-- Provided by publisher.
