Welp. I am graduating soon and moving on to another program. First it was a Bible college, then a “liberal” seminary, and now on to a Catholic school. It should continue to prove interesting. However, before moving on, required for graduation by most any MA program is a thesis.
If the reader has been paying attention for any length of time to this blog, one would notice that torture has routinely popped up. Well, thats because I have just done my MA thesis on torture. This thesis is available for download in pdf (now that I’ve realized they’ll let you attach pdfs in the new wordpress) and is titled “Responding Theologically in the Face of Torture: Re-Politicizing American Christianity in Light of the Interruptive Jesus.”
I still plan on bringing up parts here and there in a more “bloggable” form, as I have already. This allows comments on each section to be made easier. However, for those of you who want to see the entire argument, in all its theological jargon, here it is.
Thanks for the free thesis. :-)
It seems so wrong to charge for a digital copy. So very wrong.
Congratulations, David. I just downloaded it and skimmed it, and it looks great. I look forward to reading it more thoroughly when I get some time.
Where are you off to? Which Catholic school are we talking about here?
Looks great! Congrats and thanks for the copy. I, too, am curious as to which Catholic school you’ll be attending.
I’ll be going to Marquette. Yay for Jesuits.
I hear Marquette is a good school. It’s one of the schools I’m applying to for theology after I get my masters. You will do great!
Are you hoping to study with D. Stephen Long?
Thankfully theres quite a few professors to work with, but Prof. Long was, and still is, certainly one of the main draws.
It will be interesting to hear how you like it there. Congrats and good luck.
