    Mark Regnerus: Faith, Facts, and Controversy

    Melhor citação de Mark Regnerus: Faith, Facts, and Controversy

    “

    Regnerus has been quite open about how his faith shapes his research agenda, stating that 'if your faith matters, it should inform what you teach and what you research.' This raises a fundamental tension in social science: how to balance personal passion and religious values with the need for objective methodology.
