"Empirical theology offers fresh insights into the concerns of both the Church and the Academy. It does this by accessing empirical evidence using the tools of the social sciences, and placing this evidence in the context of theological critique and contemporary debate." In this collection of focused essays, leading experts of empirical theology illustrate key perspectives within this rapidly expanding discipline.
