At Friday's church service Nick asked about how one might learn the basics of Bayesian statistics. I said I would think about it, and so here are my conclusions.
For historical and philosophical background: Read The Emergence of Probability by Ian Hacking For a systematic course: Take Coursera, Bayesian Statistics, a course from Duke University with a 7-day free trial. Also of course there are several reasonable texts on Bayesian Statistics.
