Every researcher must make some fundamental questions. A researcher's questions should include the following: (1) What is the nature of the reality that I wish to study? (2) How will I know it? (3) What must I do to know it? (4) Who am I? (5) Where is God in this? and (6) For religious educators--How does my research lead to a world of peace and justice, the realm of God? In this article, the author shares her views on how researchers should address these questions when doing research. (Contains 5 footnotes.)
