B-612 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi everyone, I've got some pretty decent schools in mind but I'm wondering about some good second and third tier programs in constructive Christian theology because I know it's competitive. My specific interest is Christology and violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Body Politics Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 That's a pretty broad interest. Lots of directions to take (which is good). It also sounds like a research interest that would fit well in a div school or seminary PhD. There are plenty of those and some of them are what we could maybe call "second tier." DU/Iliff's joint PhD is one. Perhaps Toronto School of Theology's PhD (which is currently being revamped). Claremont. Graduate Theological Union. Drew (call that one a "second tier plus"). Where did you do your MDiv? Do they have a PhD? Would it be worth pursuing there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-612 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi there, If I could narrow it down a bit, I'd say Christology and violence through the lens of gender and sexuality (ie queer theology). I did a theology of the cross in light of bullying of/hate crimes against LGBTQ people. GTU is definitely on my list. I did my MDiv at Vandy. I'd considered applying to it but wasn't sure if a more diverse pedigree is more attractive to potential employers or if a different school's perspective would help me develop further.
