Andrew Louth
“The method of science is logical and rational; the method of the humanities is one of imagination, sympathetic understanding, ‘indwelling.”
Andrew Louth, Discerning the Mystery: An Essay on the Nature of Theology

David  Silverman
“The worse thing that contemporary qualitative research can imply is that, in this post-modern age, anything goes. The trick is to produce intelligent, disciplined work on the very edge of the abyss.”
David Silverman, Interpreting Qualitative Data
