Practical Theology Beyond the Empirical Turn by Heather Walton

Practical Theology Beyond the Empirical Turn by Heather Walton

In recent years, Practical Theology has taken a very significant methodological turn towards the qualitative approaches while a parallel and related development emphasises the importance of life writing as a theological resource and autoethnographical ways of constructing practical theology are receiving increased scholarly attention.

This is an amazing book! It’s a much-needed redirection for a discipline that scholar and craftswoman Heather Walton has continually advanced through her creative intellect and fulsome being-in-the worldAnd the book is extremely timely, arising within a tumultuous era of global history on an increasingly fragile earth. What are practical theologians to do? Walton paves a brave path forward for us to follow.

-- Bonnie Miller-McLemore
