这篇文章问到什么程度的主要实证研究迄今已告知公共神学的话语在实践中，尽管有一些积极的评论，其在理论上的有用性。对该领域的文献进行回顾，重点是发表在《国际公共神学杂志》上的文章，发现只有少数文章来自主要的实证研究数据，即作者自己收集的数据。有证据表明，二手研究数据得到了更广泛的使用。本研究探讨了作者如何收集主要的经验数据，以及他们如何将这些数据与调查的主题联系起来。本研究的神学性质进行了讨论，并确定了一些弱点。在回应中，提出了一些观点，表明经验数据可能会如何发展现有的议程和推进公共神学的方法。
This article asks to what extent primary empirical research has so far informed the discourse of public theology in practice, despite some positive comments about its usefulness in theory. A review of the literature in the field with a focus on articles published in theInternational Journal of Public Theologyreveals that only a small number of articles have drawn from primary empirical research data, that is, gathered by the authors themselves. There is some evidence of secondary research data being used more extensively. This study explores how the authors gathered primary empirical data and how they related that data to the themes under investigation. Thetheologicalcharacter of this research is discussed and a number of weaknesses are identified. In response, a number of points are made that indicate how empirical data might develop an existing agenda and advance the methodology of public theology.
