About this book
Reviews
“The volume is addressed to other academic theologians, particularly those who desire to produce knowledge not about or for but through those who empower their work. … I found her ways of weaving dense theory and theology through ethnography a pleasure to read.” (Rebecca Spurrier, Shorter Reviews, Vol. 70 (4), October, 2016)
"Theological page-turners are rare, but Natalie Wigg-Stevenson's debut outing is just that. In addition to being substantively rich, this book is a pleasure to read: creative, moving, and deeply honest in a risky way, combining an impressive theoretical grounding with an authentically pastoral sensibility. It engages head-on the unresolved challenge of how theology relates to those whose world in both the academy and the church. This is a discipline-defining work from a major new voice." - Serene Jones, President, Union Theological Seminary, USA"Natalie Wigg-Stevenson's work is only now emerging into the wider academic and ecclesial conversations, but I predict it will become very influential. Her outstanding book is the first fully-realized 'ethnographic theology' to be published. It consolidates and moves forward a very vibrant set of conversations at the intersection of ecclesiology and ethnography. Her work demands wide readership, but more importantly, wide emulation as a modelfor how theology - everyday and academic - ought to be produced." - Christian Scharen, Vice President for Research, Auburn Theological Seminary, USA
"Contrary to what academic theologians think, our work does not easily connect with so-called 'ordinary believers', nor does it necessarily recognize their wisdom. Advancing these connections and the growing importance of ethnography for theology, Wigg-Stevenson investigates her own teaching in a Baptist church to complicate categories of everyday faith and academic theological knowledge. This book offers unique insights into the intersection of these categories and the way in which ethnographic theological reflection is itself a Christian practice." - Mary McClintock Fulkerson, Professor, Theology, Duke Divinity School, USA
