A useful primer on Practical Theology and Qualitative Research, helpful in opening up pertinent issues whilst preparing my DMin proposal.

I made an assumption from the title that the book would be boring. After all, it was about research. It was academic, to be sure, but it was quite interesting, giving chapter after chapter about case studies. Great work!!
