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
  • _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
  • 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?

How to produce books from this repository:
