The article deals with the possibility of using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis as a basis for the theological-social science framework of the research data analysis in the context of empirical theology. It first points out the possibility of interconnecting the theological and social science worldviews. Then it defines guidelines for such an interconnection. In the last part of the article, a model proposal for the analysis and interpretation of research data is formulated. The text is understood as a possible starting point for a wider discussion on the proposed model.

Keywords: empirical theology, IPA, social sciences, theology, conceptualisation, data analysis, data collection, critical correlation
