For these reasons, it will particularly be useful for practical theologians interested in investigating problems around them 'in the world' and those that are auditing their preparedness for research. \u003ci\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDavid Immanuel Singh, PhD Research Tutor, University Link Tutor \u0026amp; PhD Stage Leader Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (OCMS), UK \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJessy Jaison has been a theological educator and research guide in India for over twenty-five years.
