OverviewHow can qualitative research methods be a tool for social change? Echoing the 'scandal of particularity' at the heart of the Christian tradition, theologians and ethicists involved in ethnographic research draw on the particular to seek out answers to core questions of their discipline. This new edition features a dynamic selection of nuanced and provocative voices in this area of ethics and theology, showing how, in the past decade, the kinds of qualitative methodologies employed have become more varied and sophisticated. The leading and emerging scholars featured in this book have much to share how they approach this kind of work, what they are learning in the process, and what sorts of change is possible as a result. This volume also pays tribute to the life and work of a pathbreaker in qualitative methods for the sake of theological imagination and social change, the Rev. Dr. Melissa D. Browning (1977-2021).

Then, it was an inspiration for many of us who looked for ways of integrating theology, ethics, and ethnography. Now, by including contemporary examples and adding new and relevant research to the arguments, it offers stimulating reading for anyone who wants to read and do embodied modes of theology. In a culture obsessed by separation, this volume does the important work of suggesting how we might do theology in ways that hold together reflection and ethics as well as research and discipleship. * Jonas Ideström, University College Stockholm, Sweden * Author InformationChristian Scharen is Vice-President of Applied Research at Auburn Theological Seminary, USA.
