Fieldwork in Theology

Theology

“Scharen’s book does the seemingly impossible—combine a presentation of Pierre Bourdieu’s work with an introduction to ethnography from a theological perspective. Doing one of these would have been achievement; doing both well while having each feed the other is a double gift. It is sure to be a touchstone for theological ethnography for some time to come.”

Finding God in the Basement

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“At once theologically acute and pastorally wise, Jennifer Carlier’s Finding God in the Basement merits a place at the center of conversations about how church communities can better respond to persons with addictions. The chapters on the impact of atonement theories on persons’ ability to recover from addiction alone are worth the read. Carlier, however, follows up these chapters with deeply informed recommendations for how church communities can alter their own practices in order to become more hospitable to all, including their own members. 48.5 million people in the United States have addictions; churches cannot be churches without following the many insights that Carlier offers.”
