Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “A Proposal for Personalised and Relational Qualitative Religious Studies Methodology” by Philip Baron. Abstract: Philip Baron’s proposals for personalized qualitative research, although not entirely novel, are worth considering. He fails, however, in clarifying their relation to the overall aims of scientific research.
