| Summary: | The second volume in a series, Explorations in Ecclesiology and Ethnography, attempts to bring into the same room two historically conflicting perspectives: theology and sociology. The reality is that 12 out of the 14 authors in this volume are theologians and religious scholars (though it is edited by Christian B. Scharen, a sociologically trained congregational ethnographer and seminary professor). The room is therefore stacked to one side. What this volume of case studies does do, however, is make a strong argument for the utilization of sociological methods (and more than just ethnography) in pursuing theological understandings within congregational and pastoral settings. |
