This blog is my own personal cheerleader to keep me motivated throughout my PhD in Theology. I’m pretty new to the blogging scene, but through my posts, I hope to share my research and discoveries to others, including my discoveries about the PhD itself! It is a strange new world I find myself in with surprisingly little information so I figured I’d share my journey so that others may find it a little less bewildering. The focus of my thesis is the wonderful Friedrich Schleiermacher and his little book entitled On Religion: Speeches to its Cultured Despisers or more informally the Speeches. I hope that my research can ultimately show the relevancy of this text in today’s theological issues surrounding religious pluralism and diversity.
Please don’t run away, I’m not a religious nut! I’m an enigma really- a theology student who isn’t remotely religious…but then I suppose that depends on how you define religious…but that’s an issue for a later date. Anyhow, by scribbling about the Speeches and my PhD journey I simply hope to keep myself focused and if just one blog is useful or interesting to one of you out there, then hey, that’s a bonus!
