Review of Linton and Mowat, Qualitative Research and Practical Theology Conspectus : The Journal of the South African Theological Seminary, Volume 10, Issue 1, Jan 2010, p. 88 - 98

Abstract

John Linton and Harriet Mowat state their purpose as follows: 'The primary purpose of this book is to address the question: How can we faithfully use qualitative research to provide accurate data for theological reflection?' (vii). In other words, the book is about the use of qualitative research for practical theology. To be more specific, their objective is to show how practical theologians can use qualitative research to form or transform practices which are faithful to the gospel.
