Note(s) : Bibliogr. en fin de chapitres. Index
In an era of rapid technological advances, the measures and methods used to generate
data about religion have undergone remarkably little change. Faithful Measures pushes
the study of religion into the 21st century by evaluating new and existing measures
of religion and introducing new methods for tapping into religious behaviors and beliefs.
This book offers a global and innovative approach, with chapters on the intersection
of religion and new technology, such as smart phone apps, Google Ngrams, crowdsourcing
data, and Amazon buying networks. It also shows how old methods can be improved by
using new technology to create online surveys with experimental designs and by developing
new ways of mining data from existing information. Chapter contributors thoroughly
explain how to employ these new techniques, and offer fresh insights into understanding
the complex topic of religion in modern life. Beyond its quantitative contributions,
Faithful Measures will be an invaluable resource for inspiring a new wave of creativity
and exploration in our connected world
