Almost everything in life is connected to data, and that data can help us make sense of truth in a world that feels increasingly challenging to navigate as Christians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut in a world where we are told to \"do our own research,\" it can be nearly impossible to know whether we're just gravitating toward stories that confirm our own untested biases, or whether we're analyzing the data in a way that is illuminating truth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring a range of contemporary topics, professor of statistics Jason Wilson shows both non-experts and experts alike that statistics has something to say when it relates to the polarizing issues that we face today. Exploring topics such as gambling, Covid, and media bias, Wilson shows that the ways we collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data have something to say in conversation with the Christian faith. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eStatistics and Faith\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll find \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexaminations of contemporary issues using statistical concepts, tools, and theories; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecase studies from history that show how statistics can be used in ways that are helpful or harmful; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eapplication chapters based on over fifteen years of research; and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ereflection questions to help you explore how to do statistics with integrity. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is ideal for professors seeking to help students explore the history and application of statistics from a Christian worldview as well as for Christians who are curious about how we understand truth through numbers.
