Faithful Measures is the first book about how to study religion in the 21st century using traditional surveys as well as new tools and methods. I ordered the book as soon as I learned about it and recommend everyone interested in this topic do the same. Since this is an edited volume, many readers may do as I did—skim key chapters and then put the book on a shelf as a reference to pull down should the right occasion arise. The invitation to write this review was my opportunity to give the volume the more careful read it deserves. Roger Finke, founder and director of the Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA), edited this volume along with ARDA associate director Christopher Bader. Quantitative researchers already owe Finke and Bader a debt for their vision and hard work to coordinate the treasure trove that is the ARDA. This volume is a logical next step in their efforts to advance inquiry into the role of religion in contemporary society.
