Theology, Religious Studies, and Data Science

An open textbook introducing data science to religious studies.

The course here has been compiled with quarto, and so the live instance of the course is compiled from openly accessible resources located in this repository. If you're interested in doing something similar, there are a number of other options, some of which have lamentably turned commercial, including: bookdown, gitbook, mkdocs, readthedocs which technically uses Sphinx or daux.

Directory structure includes:

  • README.md this README file displayed on Github
  • docs a folder containing the compiled book in html, .pdf and epub formats
  • course.bib a bibliography of items used for the course in BibTeX format
  • index.Rmd Contains initialization settings, and preface content
  • 01-Overview.Rmd Introduction and overview to course
  • 02-Session1.Rmd First chapter: "what is data?"
  • 03-Session2.Rmd Second chapter: "copyright, licenses, and data as property"
  • 04-Session3.Rmd Third chapter "exploring confidentiality and privacy"
  • 05-Session4.Rmd Fourth and closing chapter: "how do we decide what to do?"
