The Nature of Jerome’s Ascetic Hermeneutics in Adversus Jovinianum in the Light of the Fourth Century Christian, Textual and Theological Context
History
Eugene M. Ludwig, O.F.M. Cap. (Coordinator); Arthur G. Holder; Niklaus Largier, University of California, Berkeley

This dissertation investigates the nature of Jovinian’s monasticism and Jerome’s refutation on the basis of his reading of scripture as a document that promotes an ascetic economical agenda.  Jerome’s biblical hermeneutics are approached as an example of Christian ascetic discourse that grounded ascetic behavior in a system of speculations about the nature of humanity, an essential feature of which was the superiority of monasticism and especially, of celibacy and virginity.

From Bodies Displaced to Selves Unfurled: A Queer and Postcolonial Filipino-American Theological Anthropology
Interdisciplinary Studies
Boyung Lee (Coordinator); Faustino M. Cruz, S.M.; Martin F. Manalansan, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; Mayra Rivera Rivera, Harvard Divinity School

This dissertation articulates a theological anthropology that reflects the movement, ambivalence and meaning-making strategies of Filipino-American diasporic subjects. Through a queer and postcolonial reading of the baklâ - the effeminate gay male of Filipino popular imagination—the dissertation traces theological intuitions latent in Filipino-American studies. The project articulates an anthropological vision that exposes apophatic turns in Filipino-American understandings of the human.

Understanding Metaphorical Sermons as Texts: Gadamer, Metaphor and Theological Interpretation of Sermons
Homiletics
Mary Donovan Turner (Coordinator); Linda L. Clader; Kenan B. Osborne, O.F.M.; Chul-Ho Youn, Presbyterian College and Theological Seminary, Korea

This dissertation explores this statement: when complemented or enhanced by contemporary linguistic theories of metaphor, Gadamer’s dialogical hermeneutics can contribute methodically or methodologically to an understanding of historical, metaphorical, and theological sermons, even if these sermons come from theological traditions different from the understanding subject’s own. The dialogical character of Gadamer’s hermeneutics provides the reader with a methodical possibility.

The Temple in Matthew’s Eschatology: Matthew’s Interpretation of the Temple in the Context of First Century Judaism
Biblical Studies
Eugene Eung-Chun Park (Coordinator); Judy Yates Siker; Daniel Boyarin, University of California, Berkeley

In light of the past 70 C.E. historical setting and Jewish apocalyptic eschatology, Matthew’s understanding of the destroyed Temple does not support a temple replacement idea. Instead, Matthew’s ambivalent attitude toward the Temple is better understood against the contemporary Jewish background concerning the belief in the eschatological temple embedded in the references to “the throne.”

Jeffrey A. Cooper, C.S.C.
Eckhart’s Body: Tracing the Evolution of a Chiasmic Spirituality
Christian Spirituality
Darleen Pryds (Coordinator); Arthur G. Holder; Charles Hirschkind, University of California, Berkeley

The role of the physical body in the spiritual thought of Meister Eckhart has often been depicted in Eckhart studies as ambivalent, neutral, or strongly negative. This dissertation argues instead that, because Meister Eckhart’s spirituality is so firmly founded on incarnation continua, the body/soul relationship is chiasmic and the body provides a positive path of access to the divine.

Kerry B. Danner-McDonald
Getting Behind Virtues: How Cognitive Linguistics Helps Explain the Function of the Imagination when Using Scripture in Christian Virtue Ethics
Ethics and Social Theory
Richard M. Gula, S.S. (Coordinator); Lisa Fullam; Eve Sweetser, University of California, Berkeley; John Donahue, S.J., Loyola University

This project draws on cognitive linguistics to provide theories and models with which to describe the role of imagination in appropriating the virtues described in Scripture. An analysis of Luke 10:25-37 serves as a case study to demonstrate how meaning is formed through the interaction of reader and text, contributing to more abstract categories like compassion and virtue itself.

The Narrative Practice of Memory as Identity in Concerns & Celebrations and the Pastoral Prayer: Constructing a Liturgical Theology of Prayer
Liturgical Studies
Andrea Bieler (Coordinator); Lizette Larson-Miller; Jon Pahl, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia

Concerns & Celebrations and Pastoral Prayer are narrative practices of memory in the formation of identity that provides a basis for constructing a liturgical theology rooted in the praying community. This dissertation establishes a method of studying free-church worship in which worship participants engage in constructive theology through the construction of their relationships with one another, the world and God.

Sharon R. Fennema
“Falling All Around Me:” Worship Performing Theodicy in the Midst of San Francisco’s AIDS Crisis
Liturgical Studies
Andrea Bieler (Coordinator); Lizette Larson-Miller; Jay Emerson Johnson; Mark D. Jordan, Harvard University

This dissertation explores worship at the Metropolitan Community Church of San Francisco from 1982-1997, analyzing how it disrupted the social theodicy that interpreted AIDS as God’s punishment. Elaborating a methodology based on Judith Butler’s gender theory, this historical ethnography yields a liturgical theodicy of God’s intimate relational solidarity, understanding suffering in the context of the Body of Christ with AIDS.

The Formation of Modern Womanhood in East Asia, 1880-1920:  American Evangelical Gender Ideology and Modern Nation-Building
History
Randi Jones Walker (Coordinator); Timothy Tseng, Institute for the Study of Asian American Christianity; Eugene F. Irschick, University of California, Berkeley

This research proposes that the development of Asian feminist consciousness has to be understood as part of a complex process of national and self re-definition.  The interdependence among Protestant missionaries, Asian male reformers, and female advocates gives a complex picture of Asian women and their negation of modernity in the construction of new gender identity.

Made in the Images of God:  Toward a Trinitarian Virtue Ethics
Ethics and Social Theory
Richard M. Gula, S.S.  (Coordinator); Inese Radzins; Paraskeve (Eve) Tibbs, Fuller Theological Seminary

This dissertation examines how different interpretations of the Trinity can affect how Christians understand themselves, their relationships, and the kinds of virtues they pursue.  It offers wonder, self-esteem, and open-endedness as three possible Trinitarian virtues.

Chinese Converts in the Chinese Rites Controversy: Ancestral Rites and Their Identity
Interdisciplinary Studies
Judith A. Berling (Coordinator); Philip L. Wickeri; Nicolas Standaert, Catholic University of Leuven

In the Chinese Rites Controversy, Chinese converts opened up the boundaries between Confucianism and Christianity by way of interpreting ancestral rites. Their understandings confirm that they were both Confucians and Christians. Their two identities were united without the loss of any essential attribute and yet the two remained distinct, though they may share some common elements.

Lauren MacKinnon
Prophet and Member: Theological Imaginatives for the New Democracy in Cavanaugh, Hollenbach and O’Donovan
Ethics and Social Theory
James A. Donahue (Coordinator); William O’Neill, S.J.; Barbara A. McGraw, St. Mary’s College of California

Theological imaginatives from Christian political theology have relevance for contemporary discussions of new democratic structures, unbounded politics, globalization and changing ideas of citizenship. The author examines the New Christendom model of Oliver O’Donovan, the theopolitical imagination of William Cavanaugh and the pluralist universalism of David Hollenbach as possible sources. She concludes that a theology of democracy in the 21st century requires attention to (1) prophecy, (2) contingency, and (3) moral anthropology in order to be both fully Christian and participative in the discourse of liberal democracy.

Chosen from Among the Animals: The End of Human Uniqueness and the Election of the Image of God
Systematic and Philosophical Theology
Ted Peters (Coordinator); Robert J. Russell; Martinez J. Hewlett, O.P.L., University of Arizona; Rod Preece, Wilfrid Laurier University

This dissertation questions any concept of the imago Dei that equates the divine likeness with some characteristic which presumably makes humans unique—in a non-trivial way—from other animals. Instead of grounding the image of God in human uniqueness, this dissertation concludes the imago Dei is—exegetically, theologically, and scientifically—best understood in light of the Hebrew theological framework of historical election.

Christy M. Newton
Saving at Wal-Mart: A Theological Analysis of Relationships in Consumer Culture
Interdisciplinary Studies
Marion Grau (Coordinator); Boyung Lee; Mariane Ferme, University of California, Berkeley

This dissertation critiques the ways neoliberal abstraction divides theological beliefs from consumer behaviors, and it proposes a method to de-abstract the relationships in consumer culture and to detect theological commitments active specifically in Wal-Mart culture. This interdisciplinary method exegetes the ways material culture incarnates theological anthropology, soteriology, and ultimate value. It also examines the theological implications of globalization in the lives of ordinary people.

The Limits of Embodiment: The Implications of Written and Artistic Portrayals of Mary at the Foot of the Cross for Late Medieval Affective Spirituality
Christian Spirituality
Arthur G. Holder (Coordinator); John C. Endres, S.J. ; Reindert Falkenburg, New York University, Abu Dhabi; Niklaus Largier, University of California, Berkeley

This dissertation places cognitive-science, art history and late medieval spirituality in conversation, in an analysis of fourteenth-century written and artistic portrayals of Mary at the foot of the cross, namely in Horologium Sapientiae by Henry Suso, Exercitia super vita et passione Jesu Christi, formerly attributed to John Tauler, and altarpieces by Rogier van der Weyden (d. 1964).

Decentering the Ordo, Reclaiming the Ordo: Revisiting Liturgical Theology through the Cane Ridge Camp Meeting
Liturgical Studies
Michael B. Aune (Coordinator); Judith A. Berling; Xin Liu, University of California, Berkeley

This dissertation is a model for the in-depth study of a worship community. The dissertation treats the Cane Ridge Camp Meeting as a busy intersection of cultural, religious and theological dynamics. For this purpose, this dissertation utilizes methods from liturgical theology and historical anthropology. The dissertation argues, worship is always performed in a discrete time period. Liturgical ordo is not a paradigmatic authority; rather it is a temporal phenomenon in which participants can find their meanings out of their own movement and engagement in worship with their body.

Ministers of Movies: Sherwood Pictures and the Church Film Movement
Art and Religion
Michael T. Morris, O.P. (Coordinator); Margaret McManus; Terry Lindvall, Virginia Wesleyan College

This dissertation provides an analysis of the work of Sherwood Pictures, the filmmaking ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church. It also chronicles the emergence of a new Church Film Movement that harkens back to Protestant uses of and expectations for cinema from the early 1900s. The work of these church-based filmmakers also signals important shifts in the broader world of independent filmmaking that empower even the most inexperienced aspiring filmmakers.

Laicization in Four Sri Lankan Buddhist Temples in Northern California
Cultural and Historical Studies of Religions
Richard K. Payne (Coordinator); Judith A. Berling; Anne Blackburn, Cornell University

Without an overarching Theravāda institution to enforce organizational models among the four Sri Lankan American temples in this study, a diversity of temple ownership patterns developed.  Practices such as lay leadership, management, funding, and founding of temples have contributed to laicization.  Temples’ ethnic exclusivity was found to be related to their degree of lay authority and temple ownership patterns.  

John Charles Roedel
Love is Not a Strategy: Reconsidering Principled Nonviolence
Interdisciplinary Studies
Judith A. Berling (Coordinator); William R. O’Neill, S.J.; Martha J. Reineke, University of Northern Iowa; Leela Gandhi, University of Chicago

This dissertation argues that in addressing situations of structural violence, principled nonviolence, concerned with love, is ultimately more effective than violence or strategic nonviolence, concerned with power. The dissertation suggest that the goal of principled nonviolence is ultimately it’s replication in the lives of others, transmitted not as the fruit of heroic moral achievement, but as an expression of shared complicity in structural violence.

Allison J. Tanner
Engaging the Inner Prophet: How American Baptist Pastors Preach on Social Issues in an Age of Tolerance and Schism
Ethics and Social Theory
Jerome P. Baggett (Coordinator); Martha Ellen Stortz; Laura Olson, Clemson University

This dissertation explores why American Baptist pastors choose to (and not to) preach on social issues from their pulpits. Utilizing the insights of cultural theory, it argues that culture profoundly shapes pastoral action in ways that both enable and constrain their ability to engage in prophetic preaching.

Re-Orienting our Life Stories: Salvation as Narrative Transformation
Systematic and Philosophical Theology
George E. Griener, S.J. (Coordinator); Ted Peters; Eleanor Rosch, University of California, Berkeley

Contemporary thought commonly describes the self as a narrative construction. This project takes that model, and puts it in dialogue with Christian doctrines about salvation. The author examines how grace encounters people in salvific narratives which open up new possibilities in life stories, and how it thereby transforms relationships to the past, the present and the future.

Jennifer Elisa Veninga
Theology for a Secular Age: The Danish Social Imaginary and the Cartoon Crisis of 2005-2006
Systematic and Philosophical Theology
George E. Griener, S.J. (Coordinator); Martha Ellen Stortz; Karin Sanders, University of California, Berkeley

This dissertation analyzes the cartoon crisis of 2005-2006, in which twelve images of the Prophet Muhammad were published in a Danish newspaper. Using Charles Taylor’s concept of the social imaginary as a theological methodology, it argues that the crisis reflected the encounter between a paradoxically Christian and secular (“theo-secular”) social imaginary and Islam. This encounter with diversity provides both challenges and possibilities.

Religion, Gender, and Postcoloniality: The Case of “Ciudad Mistica De Dios”
Cultural and Historical Studies of Religions
Judith A. Berling (Coordinator); Clare Fischer; Kathryn Poethig, California State University, Monterrey

“Ciudad Mistica” is a religious sect located in Mount Banahaw, a “sacred mountain” in Central Luzon, Philippines, which draws hundreds of thousands of pilgrims during the Lenten season.  This sect is both admired and vilified for its deliberate lifting of women as sources and holders of sacred and spiritual power. This dissertation looks at the role that gender plays in the formation and transformation of Mistica’s religious identity and in the complex negotiations and contestations generated by that identity in the context of Mount Banahaw and the political and economic realities of postcolonial Philippines.

Gospel Music in the United States of American 1960s-1980s: A Study of the Themes of “Survival,” “Elevation,” and “Liberation” in a Popular Urban Contemporary Black Folk Sacred Mass Music
Art and Religion
Archie Smith, Jr. (Coordinator); James A. Noel; Cheryl Kirk-Duggan, Shaw University;Demetrius Williams, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

Black experience, in bondage and freedom, is the crucible of Black gospel music. It reflects the heart and evolving nature of Black experiences of the masses, and it will be an essential resource for understanding and interpreting African American spirituality, theology and survival strategies. Gospel music can no longer be neglected as a resource for Black theology in the academy. It must be front and center if this discipline is to represent God-talk in Black communities.

Contemplation and Solidarity: A Study of Post-Traumatic Growth in the Christian Tradition
Interdisciplinary Studies
Lewis R. Rambo (Coordinator); Joseph D. Driskill; Herbert Anderson; Michael Nagler, University of California, Berkeley

This dissertation deals with the spiritual and theological approaches to human suffering as a result of trauma. Through a mutually critical and constructive conversation of John of the Cross and Jürgen Moltmann and contemporary traumatic stress studies, the dissertation argue that purgative contemplation and solidarity with the crucified Christ and the suffering are invaluable resources to engage and work through trauma and traumatic stress.

Kol Isha: Poetry and Polemic in Judeo-Iberian Biblical Ballads
Center for Jewish Studies
WITH HONORS
Deena Aranoff (Coordinator); Naomi Seidman

We know very little about the religious participation of Jewish women in medieval Iberia in contrast to the abundance of scholarship about male intellectual elite. This thesis provides a close reading of three biblical ballads to show the ways in which women also engaged in cultural production while negotiating religious identity for themselves.

Being unto Love: Anxiety of Death, Radical Life Extension, and the Meaning of Christ
San Francisco Theological Seminary
Gregory A. Love (Coordinator); Robert J. Russell; Ted Peters

This thesis develops a linked cosmic theology and relational anthropology to address the theological and spiritual consequences of radical life extension technologies. The thesis demonstrates that the development of such technologies fits within a framework of divine creativity and Christian duty. The charge for Christians as a religious community is to develop a technoculture based on an ethic of beneficence.

Footwashing in the Western Christian Liturgy – The History of a Ritual Element
Church Divinity School of the Pacific
Lizette Larson-Miller (Coordinator); Michael B. Aune; Louis Weil

In contemporary Maundy Thursday liturgies, footwashing has been met with confusion about its meaning, ministry, and pastoral suitability.  Rather than being an ancient feature of Holy Week, footwashing in parish churches is a modern creation.  This study explores the complex history of this ritual element and proposes ways in which Maundy Thursday footwashing might be better implemented.

The Transformation of the English Translation of the Roman Missal: An Historical and Comparative Study
Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University
WITH HONORS
Lizette Larson-Miller (Coordinator); John E. Klentos

This thesis provides a complete yet concise study of the development and evolution of the English translation of the Roman Missal since Vatican II, through the utilization of historical research and comparative textual analysis as the Roman Catholic Church in the United States, prepares for the implementation of the new English translation contained in the Third Edition of the Roman Missal on the First Sunday of Advent 2011.

Let this Thing be Done for Me: Intentional Communities as a Means of Support in Judges II and the San Francisco AIDS Crisis
Pacific School of Religion
Aaron Brody (Coordinator); Jay Emerson Johnson

When Jephthah’s daughter makes her seemingly unremarkable request to go into the mountains, she demonstrates a profound recognition of the need for intentional community and support. Her story, read from a queer lens, is echoed hundreds of years later in San Francisco when the queer community demonstrates comparable solidarity. Concurrent readings of these two accounts inform and enhance one another.

A Politics of Moral Engagement: A Teleological Offering to the Communitarian—Liberal Debate
Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary
Alicia Vargas (Coordinator); William R. O’Neill

This thesis explores a teleological approach to synthesizing the best aspects of the debate between liberal and communitarian political philosophies. The result of this project is a political approach that fosters a more robust public discourse that weighs the balance of the good versus the right. By adopting a politics of moral engagement, which looks towards the desired ends of political situations, citizens can rely on rich narratives and community values to pursue the common good. This approach also works towards a just society that respects human dignity and the rights of those who are most vulnerable.

The Rebel God: Understanding the Cross and the Radical Love of God
Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary
WITH HONORS
Ted Peters (Coordinator); Gregory A. Love; Mike Gorman, St. Mary’s College of California

This thesis offers a critique of the penal substitutionary model of the atonement, proposing instead an understanding based on restorative justice rather than retribution. Combining Christus Victor with vicarious suffering (understood in terms of interchange and participation), it outlines a nonviolent understanding of the atonement based on personal relationship with God and enemy love.

Sister Artists: The Arts of Benedictine Women From the Middle Ages to Today
Pacific School of Religion
Rossitza Schroeder (Coordinator); Randi Jones Walker; Michael T. Morris, O.P.

An examination of the various arts of Benedictine women demonstrates that nuns have used art to answer the specific spiritual needs of female communities and to push the boundaries of traditional patriarchal theology and doctrine.  Studying these arts can increase our understanding of the experiences of women religious and their place as initiators of change within the ecclesiastical structure.

An Analysis of the Philosophical Congruencies between the “Tao-te-ching” and Martin Heidegger’s Early Writings
Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University
Thomas Cattoi (Coordinator); Anselm Ramelow, O.P.; Katharina Kaiser, University of California, Berkeley

This thesis explores early Heidegger’s connections with mysticism and East-Asian thought by comparing “Being and Time” and “What is Metaphysics?” with the “Tao-te-ching.”  This work does this by focusing on the concepts of Tao, the Nothing, Being, non-being, the Sage, authentic Dasein, and the principle of reversion.

The Struggle for Dominance Between the Papacy and the Holy Roman Empire and its Impact on the Nature of Crusading in the Early 13th Century
Franciscan School of Theology
Darleen Pryds (Coordinator); Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski

This thesis discusses how the crusading policies of Pope Innocent III and Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II changed the nature of inter—Nicene warfare in the 13th Century.

Saints Cyril and Methodius-Mission among the Slavs in Relations between Rome and Constantinople
Patriarch Athenagoras Orthodox Institute
John E. Klentos (Coordinator); Eugene M. Ludwig, O.F.M. Cap.; Nikitas Lulias    

This thesis intends to highlight the most important historical details from the lives of Cyril and Methodius as well as offer an analysis of the geo-political situation in the ninth century in relations between Rome and Constantinople, or more specifically, between the Roman and Byzantine Church.  The saints’ mission sought to reconcile and unite three important elements in the civilization of Medieval Europe:  the Byzantine, the Roman, and the Slavic.

A Comparison of Augustine with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin on the View of Evil
Pacific School of Religion
Inese Radzins (Coordinator); Thomas Cattoi; Robert J. Russell

This thesis compares Augustine and Teilhard’s understandings of theodicy and demonstrates that not only do they begin from the same starting point in their view of the nature of evil, but they also finish with a similar ending point in realizing evil’s contribution to the perfection of God’s universe.  Therefore, this thesis shows that two types of theodicy classified by John Hick can interact with each other.

Bristol M. Huffman
America’s Culture War After 9/11
Pacific School of Religion
Karen Lebacqz (Coordinator); Jerome P. Baggett

This thesis explores cultural narratives surrounding 9/11 through the lens of the American “culture war” between ideological liberals and conservatives. Content analysis of six books about 9/11 reveals themes of national and religious identity, enemies and heroes, and group belonging. These patterns offer useful tools for critical engagement in the public conversations of the “culture war.”

Athanasius of Alexandria’s Festal Letters: A Fourth Century Bishop and his People
Pacific School of Religion
Randi Jones Walker (Coordinator); Eugene M. Ludwig, O.F.M. Cap.

This work used Athanasius of Alexandria’s festal letters to explore the pastoral nature of this fourth century C.E. bishop. The letters had not been studied historically before, and it shows that Athanasius is a genuine pastor, not just a politician.

Pastoral Care for the Bereaved Following a Death by Suicide with Particular Attention to Korean Cultural Issues
San Francisco Theological Seminary
R. Scott Sullender (Coordinator); Herbert Anderson

The grief carried by death from suicide may be easily hidden, leading to a delay in the grieving process. Cultural and religious biases and judgment against suicide can affect a survivor’s feelings of grief, such as shame, guilt, despair, hopelessness, and stigma. Therefore, this thesis reviews religious and cultural viewpoints on suicide, especially in Christianity in a Korean context. Ministers may gain insight on the grief of suicidal death and how religious and cultural viewpoints can influence the survivor’s grieving process.

Franciscan School of Theology
Faustino M. Cruz, S.M. (Coordinator); Mary E. McGann, R.S.C.J.; Marianne Farina, C.S.C

This thesis explores the contemporary Sacred Heart educational mission in the United States and how it shapes Catholic faith education at the high school level. Using the Sacred Heart Preparatory in Atherton, California as a model, it analyzes how the R.S.C.J. mission informs, forms and transforms lay faith educators.
