The courses you will be taking explore works that help define contemporary practical theology, its engagement with philosophy and the social sciences, and critical methodological issues, including the relationship with social science methods. Coursework will examine specific arenas of practical theology while relating them to your own practice and experience in a way that builds on and advances practical theological method. Upon your completion of the prescribed doctoral coursework, you will prepare for candidacy exams. These exams will presuppose your familiarity with the literature of practical theology and related specializations of your choosing. Successfully passing those rigorous, multiday examinations will confer on you a new status: you will then be a candidate for the doctorate and eligible to create and submit a dissertation proposal, sometimes also called a prospectus. After defending your prospectus before a dissertation committee of suitable scholars of your choosing, you will write a dissertation. Following the rules established by the School of Theology and Ministry of St. Thomas University for this purpose, there must be a minimum of three members of your dissertation committee: a chair, a lead reader, and an ordinary member. The chair must be from among the St. Thomas University School of Theology and Ministry faculty and all members must hold an earned doctorate in theology or related discipline. As you write your dissertation, you will be enrolled and participate in a dissertation seminar designed to assist and support you in your work. Your completed dissertation must be successfully defended before your dissertation committee, which must approve your dissertation for publication. At that point, your dissertation will be made available as a successfully completed dissertation (ProQuest, UMI Dissertations Publishing). Successful completion of the dissertation leads to the Ph.D. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Because doctoral studies presume the successfully completed dissertation as the primary goal, all of your coursework, including all of your reading, writing, note-taking, presentations, electronic archiving, teaching, and any other activity should be directed toward potential usefulness in the conceptualization, writing, or execution of your dissertation. Naturally, you cannot know precisely how your dissertation will be structured until you have successfully defended your dissertation proposal. However, you can anticipate your areas of interest and likely directions, and you should use each book and article that you read, and each conversation you have and notes you take and archive (among other things) as getting you closer to clarity in your scholarly agenda and practical theological //locus//. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Objectives of Coursework in the Ph.D. in Practical Theology Curriculum ** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Course Objectives ** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This goal of this course is to provide a strong familiarity with critically important, field-shaping scholarship within contemporary practical theology. The texts are presented in a modified historical-geographical context so that beginning doctoral students might better assimilate them. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Students must be prepared to read, read, read. And to discuss critically, effectively their take-aways and critiques of each of the texts under examination. Course Software <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">We will use Blackboard in this course. My preference is that ultimately everything that relates to the doctoral program, as appropriate, be listed on Blackboard. Please note that I always prefer electronic submissions. If you give printed submissions, please also submit electronic ones. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Students will be expected to post electronic versions of outlines, presentations, or other materials on the appropriate Discussion Forum on Blackboard. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">As a professional courtesy to all, Blackboard posting should be done before we meet but never later than 24 hours after the relevant class meeting. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Evaluation **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The goal of this course is for you to develop an intimate familiarity with the field and an overview of major contemporary contributors and their work. T this seminar and will be derived as follows: <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">25% Participation and outline presentations from January 22 to February 19: 5 meetings, 39 presentations <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">25% Participation and outline presentations from February 26 to March 19: 3 meetings, 22 presentations <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">25% Participation and outline presentations from March 26 to April 23: 4 meetings, 23 presentations <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">25% Term Paper, due no later than May 7 <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">All students are expected to do all the reading, always. Whenever possible they should read the entire book, not merely the selections identified for discussion. Course evaluation depends almost entirely on the degree to which students have read all the portions of the texts assigned in the reading list. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">For almost every class meetings, but not every single class meeting, students will be responsible to present an outline they construct on a particular part of the reading. They must bring sufficient copies of an outline of the assigned text or portion of a text for all students. They will post this on Blackboard in the Discussion Forum established for the relevant class meeting. It should be on only one side of a sheet of paper. In no way may it exceed two sides of a single sheet. This responsibility does not disappear if the student has an emergency and cannot attend class, something which is any case should be exceedingly rare. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Outlines should consist of three sections, with headings in bold and to the left, the first two of which will be brief, tersely written statements: <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The upper left hand side of each page should appear as follows, using sufficiently small type size: <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Your name should be to the far right hand corner of the paper—out of the way but easy to locate. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Students are expected to present their outline very tightly and succinctly in 10 minutes. They should time themselves as they speak. It may never be longer than 15 minutes, and that should be a very rare exception. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">From time to time it will be more appropriate for students to create two different outlines, depending on the readings assigned, but in any case they will present the outlines at the same time and in the same allotment of time (10 minutes). <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The term paper for this course is to be subtitled “Foundations for a Practical Theology.” You may give it any title you wish. It should be a minimum of 20 pages. It should be tightly written, using headings throughout. No page should be wasted space. There should be a bibliography, which must include all the materials listed for this course but may include any others of your choosing as well. All materials in the bibliography must be referenced in the text. You may use any citation system you choose as long as it is consistent. You are encouraged to imitate a book or journal article you found especially fruitful, whether as a potential model for future work or as a journal to which you might ultimately wish to submit an article for publication. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The purpose of the paper is to discuss the ways in which you intend to build on the existing literature in contemporary practical theology during your time in the program and beyond. You may be critical or appreciative of texts you have read—or both—but you must refer to all texts in some way. You are free to discuss topics you are considering for your dissertation or future articles—or your long-term scholarly agenda. There is no expectation that your will be writing your last word on the topic—this is for your first seminar in the doctoral program and you certainly are expected to continue to grow and develop in your understanding. But this paper should represent an important beginning for you. It must therefore show how you anticipate utilizing all the various texts encountered in this course in your work and scholarship as a practical theologian. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The paper may be prepared throughout the course, as it proceeds, constantly revising and developing it. This is recommended. Because your term paper should cite particular page numbers that refer to relevant passages in the texts we encounter, you should begin taking careful notes now. This includes marginal notes in the texts themselves as well as written or electronically stored notes on the readings. You should begin to develop electronic bibliographies using RefWorks (or similar programs) that will contain, at the very least, the texts being read for this seminar and perhaps related works that are mentioned in those texts or in related reading and research you undertake. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Incompletes are not granted for this course. Whatever a student has submitted by May 7 will be the basis of the final grade. Keep in mind that anything less than a B is a failing grade for doctoral work. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Expectations ** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This course attempts to create a community of intellectual inquiry, a “space” in which we can together do practical theology. We will do so through critical and appreciative conversation that engages the selected texts. The course is therefore taught as a seminar, which means that students are expected to develop skills of intellectual leadership as they summarize readings and lead class discussions. The professor’s role will be to introduce the topic for the class and contextualize the questions and/or issues being raised by the texts under discussion, as well as invite students to think through the claims being made in the texts and critique their presuppositions and claims. Students are expected to gather with each other or consult each other from time to time regarding the reading as they prepare for class meetings. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Consider the notion of the “now and not yet,” a concept so central to Christian theology. Analogously, in the seminar room, we will be more in the “now”—taking on roles more as equals in the learning process, calling each other by first name and working together, collaboratively, as we do practical theology. Outside the seminar room, of course, and throughout your doctoral studies, you are also in the “not yet” in the sense that you are not yet a Ph.D. This course of study will be a transitional time for you, and it will demand that you negotiate complex roles and relationships as part of the process. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Subject to Change **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This syllabus is only a guide, not a contract.

This is because these texts are all likely to be used repeatedly throughout the Ph.D. program and beyond. Copies will be ordered for the library to place on reserve at the front desk, but this should be used rarely, not regularly. It is best for Ph.D. students to own their own copies of their books and to be able to mark the texts they read as they wish, and to have the texts at hand in their library. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Full citations of the texts are given below. The date of the first publication of the first edition in the original language is noted in square brackets where it is different from the data of the current edition recommended for use in this course. For translations or multiple editions, it is important to obtain copies by the particular translator or edition as noted. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Class Schedule ** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">There will be a prayer leader designated in advance. The prayer leader will offer a brief prayer (or reading, in any form deemed appropriate. This will be preceded and followed by a brief silence.
