# Theology, Religious Studies, and Data Science
An open textbook introducing data science to religious studies.
The course here has been compiled with [quarto](https://quarto.org/), 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](https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown), [gitbook](https://docs.gitbook.com/), [mkdocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/), [readthedocs](https://readthedocs.org) which technically uses [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/) or [daux](https://daux.io/).
Directory structure includes:
* `README.md` this README file displayed on Github
* `_book` a folder containing the compiled book in html and .pdf formats
* `references.bib` a bibliography of items used for the course in [BibTeX format](http://www.bibtex.org/Format/)
* `preface.qmd` Preface
* `intro.qmd` Introduction and overview to book
* `chapter_1.qmd` Chapter 1: working with UK Census religion data
* `chapter_2.qmd` Chapter 2: survey data
* `chapter_3.qmd` Chapter 3: geospatial data"
* `chapter_4.qmd` Chapter 4: data scraping, corpus analysis and wordclouds
* `chapter_5.qmd` What's next?
