What I mentioned in my last few posts serve as examples that propose
several theological questions. The answers to those questions tend to be either
cautious or supportive of statistics’ integration with missiology. And the
sometimes polarized schools of thought about missiometrics lead to competing
theological structures. However, just as Naisbitt posits, “without a structure,
a frame of reference, the vast amount of data that comes your way each day will
probably whiz right by you.”[1]
Edward Rommen and David Bosch place their frames of reference on the side of
caution, whereas Roger Greenway and David Hesselgrave seem to be supportive of
statistical interdisciplinary activity.
